The Phobjikha Valley, with its agrarian economy, is mostly underdeveloped with least modern facilities of water and sanitation.
Transport and communication facilities are also not adequate.
But with the development of the country, the two mobile service providers of the country established the cellular networks.
This connected the valley to the rest of the world.
B-Mobile installed its first cellular network in the year 2008 during the consecration ceremony of the newly built Gangteng Monastery.
In view of protection provided to the cranes which visit the valley in winter, as a conservation measure overhead transmission lines for electric supply have not been permitted to be provided.
Solar heaters, solar powered cells and diesel generators are used to provide electricity in the past but now the valley is connected to the national grid using underground electrical cable system.
