Gangtey Tent Resort
Ten luxury tents in Phobjikha valley is the glamping option above the crane reserve.
Ten ensuite tented rooms in Phobjikha at a four-star standard is another the accessible option for guests who want the crane valley experience.
Gangtey Tent Resort brings a glamping format to Phobjikha valley — ten spacious tented rooms with ensuite bathrooms and in-floor heating, large windows, and open verandas that face the valley and its famous crane nesting grounds. The setting is the property’s primary asset: at 3,000 metres, with views across the protected reserve and the 17th-century Gangtey Goemba monastery below, the landscape is as dramatic as at the higher-priced lodges on the ridge above.
A traditional hot stone bath completes the day, and yoga is available on site. The tented format brings guests closer to the valley sounds — wind, birds, and in crane season (October to February) the calls of the black-necked cranes moving through the rice fields below.
Gangtey Tent Resort is a good option for guests who want the Phobjikha valley experience — especially the crane season — at a more accessible price point than Gangtey Lodge or Six Senses Gangtey. The tented format is charming and the views are equivalent.
