Phobjikha is the best roosting place of black-necked cranes and the community avails good support internationally in terms of installed infrastructure facilities in the community.
The gewog’s Gup Jamtsho said the most important benefit was the increasing number of tourists who visited the gewog annually. As part of eco-tourism some of the village houses were also identified as Home stay for the tourists.
“It started last year and around 20 houses were identified as home stay,” Gup Jamtsho said.
By 2013 it will be started as villagers are being trained on hospitality in order to host the guests appropriately.
Apart from that the gewog is provided with proper road facilities and underground electrical facilities, which the community said adds to make the pristine environment more splendid.
