Bom Deling

<p>Bomdeling Gewog in the north of Trashiyangtse Dzongkhag in eastern Bhutan is known for its its vast biodiversity and unspoiled ecosystem, the sole reason behind the establishment of the Bomdeling Wildlife Sanctuary to protect and preserve this natural wealth, particularly the globally endangered black necked cranes that winter here, the only attraction that has boosted tourist inflow into the gewog. </p><p>Sharing its boundaries with the Tibet Autonomous Region of China to the north and Yangtse Gewog to the south, Bomdeling is spread over an area spanning 850 sqkm and connected to the Dzongkha headquarter via a feeder road of roughly about 8.6 kms. The people are mostly farmers growing paddy and finger millet as their staple cereals.</p><p> Other than the black necked cranes, Bomdeling is also famous for the unique dialect they speak called the Zalakha (roughly translated as the monkey language) and the much sought after wooden bowls (Dapa) and the handmade papers. </p>
