不丹

不丹崗堤寺

崗堤寺 (Gantey Gongpa or Gangtey Monastery) 為於不丹最大高原濕地山谷珀吉卡山谷(Phobjikha Valley)山上,從寺廟可俯瞰這個不丹最大及最重要的濕地山谷。

崗堤寺初建於 1613年,為當地的一間小寺廟和修道院,期後經過擴建,建築物設計像城堡。在2002年,得到不丹國王的支持下把這重要歷史文物翻新,工程浩大,花了8年時間,除了盡量保留原有建築、雕塑和壁畫神像,亦增添了104條大柱,以鞏固崗堤寺的結構。現時的崗堤寺中間是一座主殿,四周有修道院舍和曾侶宿舍,亦有一間小旅館。日常有附近居民參拜祈福,環境寧靜清幽。有時間到寺院外走一走,可以府瞰珀吉卡山谷的壯麗景色。

The monastery is in a prime location with a stunning view of the Phojikha Valley.I think this monk is trying to look for black neck cranes in the valley. There is a special Black Neck Crane Festival held in the monastery in November every year, attracting many locals people and tourists.
崗堤寺位於山上,可以俯瞰不丹最大濕地高原山谷,冬天是黑頸鶴棲息的地方。所以每年崗堤寺11月份會舉行黑頸鶴祭典,吸引很多當地及遊客前來參加。
