The Black Necked Cranes are back in Bhutan!
The valleys of Phobjikha, Gangtey and Tang are the winter home of the rare and deeply revered black-necked cranes (thrung thrung karmo) who fly over the Himalaya from Tibet and winter in the kingdom. Perhaps the arrival of these“auspicious harbingers of hope and prosperity” on the very day of the US election heralds better times ahead?
