Gangtey, Bhutan

A special kind of dwarf bamboo grows here, which attracts the Black-necked Cranes to roost and feed in the Phobjikha (Gangtey) valley during the winter season.  They travel from the Tibetan Plateau each October.  The round yellow building at the top with the red roof is the Black-necked Crane Information Center where visitors can learn all about these endangered birds.
