Hiking the Tigers Nest trail to see the crown jewel of Bhutan. A beautiful monastery perched on the side of a mountain over looking the valley.

Arriving after a 3 hour drive into Gangtey Valley, we (the guide and myself) stayed at a small place in the valley. Waking up in the morning to sunrise, I grabbed breakfast and set off on a day solo walk/hike to get a peak at the endangered Black-necked cranes and to explore the cold winter valley. Black-necked crane populations in Bhutan are well protected both culturally and legally although some disturbance from tourism exists
