Bhutan Gangyul Village

The Gangyul mountain village is a small nomad village down at the foot of the Tserim Kang mountain. The traditional houses have a unique architecture. It's fascinating to see, how people live in these remote areas.

Take something in the foreground to hide the sometimes messy gardens and try to make the photo interesting by capturing the flying birds with a fast shutter speed. Be patience.

In order to get to this remote and superb place, you would need to hike for several days through the Himalayan mountains. To reach here, a multi-day hike is mandatory. Starting from Paro into the route, the minimum amount of days to get here is 5 days with an average elevation gain of around 800-1.000m per day as well as 12-18km per day.
