Customer Reviews
Nice nature trail overlooking valley and mountains. Fresh air and quiet trail of about an hour. Simple walk and abt 4 km distance.
This was definitely one of the best things I did during my two weeks in Bhutan. The nature trail isn't particularly long, nor is it particularly demanding, but the views are incredible (at least for the first half, before you head into the forest). This isn't a hike, more like a glorified walk in nature. As you approach the Gangtey Monastery there is definitely some uphill climbing, but anyone is halfway decent shape should be able to do the walk with a few breaks. If you're really out of shape, you can always do the nature walk in reverse, starting from the monastery and walking down to the valley. The views won't be as good this way, though you can always turn around periodically to enjoy the same views you'd see if you waked the typical direction. But walking the trail in reverse would definitely be A LOT less strenuous.
While the flora dies down in winter and we are left with a bit of forest / farm land to trek through, one gets the opportunity for incredible views of the Black Neck Cranes during their migration season. Enjoy parts of the trail strolling next to local cattle used by the farms dotting the onset of the trail.
