A pleasurable walk (around 2 hours) that give a nice feeling for Phobjikha valley. It is the most beautiful and shortest of existing nature trails in Bhutan. From the small hilltop overlooking Gangtey Goemba , head downhill through flower meadows to Semchubara village and from here through beautiful forests and in to the open valley. After passing a chorten and Khewa Lhakhang, the trail ends at the local community school, this involves a 30 minutes walk up to the start of the Town. The Nature Trail can be combined with a visit to Gangtey Goemba and the local school. Gangtey Goemba is a 16th century monastery situated picturesquely at the hilltop at the edge of Gangtey village, making it the landmark structure of Phobjikha valley.
