We arrived in th e Phobija Valley with views of
the picturesque Black Mountain range the
farmland below was covered with 300 plus black necked cranes We travelled to Trongsa and visited the Trongsa Dzong, the masterpiece of Bhutanese
architecture, further on our travels towards Bumthang we stopped at a yethra (textile weaving) shops, where the
yathras are designed with patterns unique to the Bumthang area. The group enjoyed 3 wonderful
days in Bumtanhg and the highlight of the trip was to witness a local Tsechu
(festival).
It
is a time when all families can enjoy a rest from farming and harvesting and join together to dance and sing in colourful costumes
and masks. It is a time when all families can enjoy laughter and relaxation..
The
second highlight and our most important visit on the trip was an 800 mtr climb to the famous Taksing Monastery, a
perfect day to end a perfect trip.
