There’s immersing yourself in the secretive kingdom of Bhutan, then there’s timing your visit to take in the extraordinary Black-Necked Crane Festival. This annual one-day celebration, held at Gangtey Monastery, marks the winter return of the birds with masked dances, drumming and food stalls. It’s colourful, joyous, and spiritual. Beyond the festival, you’ll discover the best of the kingdom: cliff-perched Buddhist monasteries, still-alive ancient traditions and pristine landscapes fiercely protected by local laws.
This itinerary is valid for the Black Crane Festival only. For alternative festival departures in Bhutan, please have a look at Paro Festival, Thimphu Festival or Trongsa Festival.
