Bhutan Day 7 - Bumthang to Gangtey

This is the place where we stay The fireplace in the foreground allow big groups of people to gather and have fun at night We are going to leave for Gangtey today, farewell to the lovely dogs that have accompanied us.  I gave him some local cheese that I bought from the market, he gobbled it quickly and wanted more. Gangtey is in west Bhutan. It's the ground where the Tibet black neck cranes come for winter season. We hope we would be able to snap good pics of them later.  Took some pictures along the way. We stopped for lunch, and this place is the mid point of Trongsa and Gangtey where people stop for lunch or tea break. What make here special is that the King had been here before. The shop has specially decorated a seat for the Highness. But well the guy sitting there is not the King but my guide. haha Yes. It's him. Looking at this photo that hangs in the main hall, I could deeply feel how much the local people respect their King. Gangtey s
