Black Necked Crane Festival

The beautiful birds of heaven, The BLACK NECKED Cranes (Grus nigricollis) are found in the high plain lands of Phobjikha, Gogona and Khotokha in Western Bhutan AND in Bomdeling in Eastern Bhutan AND Tang and Chokor in Central Bhutan.

The Annual Black Necked Crane festival is celebrated in honor of the resilience of these birds that fly into Bhutan every winter months to escape from the cold Tibetan Plateau and to roost in these safe swampy lands.
