We then descend down to the Punakha Valley at an altitude of 1350mts. The road has lots of sharp bends, but lots of breathtaking views of the mountains and valleys.

(78km) After breakfast drive to Gangtey Phobjika is a glacial valley (3,000 m) on the western slopes of the Black Mountains, a designatedconservation area bordering the Black Mountain National Park where large flocks of black-neckedcranes come to winter. It is one of the most important wildlife preserves in the Country, and described as "the most beautiful spot in the most beautiful country in the Himalayas". The valley boasts two beautiful meandering rivers, Nakay Chhu (Chhu Naap-black water) and Gay Chhu (Chhu Karp-white water). According to a local legend, the two rivers actually represent a snake and a boar. The two animals once raced each other with an agreement that if the snake (Nakay Chhu) won, Phobjikha valley would be able to grow rice, but if the boar won, then rice could never be cultivated in the area. The snake lost since it had to meander all the way during its journey. Rice cannot be cultivated in the valley even today. Overnight at Hotel.
