Crane Dance by Bayta CPSNEWS Phobjikha 12 November The much awaited event of the Year - the Annual Black-necked Crane Festival is here again.

The committee was formed to promote conservation and guide the prudent management of natural resources in Phobjikha. Over the years, the committee has increasingly taken up responsibilities that they are now the organizers of the festival.
