Mountain Leader

This is a good trek for average hikers. It takes three days and gives you a chance to visit the isolated valleys of Gantey (locally known as Phobjika), Gogona and Kothoka. The monastery of Gantey Gompa belongs to the Nyingmapa school of Tibetan Buddhism and is situated dramatically at the head of the valley. The Phobjika valley is also well known as one of the last wintering grounds of the endangered and graceful black-necked cranes that fly in from northern China, Mongolia and Siberia. They are best seen between November and March making it a good winter trek. Although the trek is possible throughout the whole winter, the best seasons for the Gangte Trek are March to May and September to November. When the rhododendrons are in full bloom in April and May it is a special treat. It is a short and relatively easy trek with beautiful villages and monasteries en route.
