Black mountain range nearly divides the country in two, running from north at the Tibetan border to the south, rich in wild life at the sanctuary of Manas. The portain near Pelela pass on highway to the east is very picturesque with specious high valley of Rukubji, Phobjikha, Gogana and Khotakha. The big monastery of Pema Lingpa lineage at Gantay Gompa and small beautiful active Gompas at Gogona are worth visiting. The route follows rich rhododendron forest and typical villages.
