WILDLIFE

We invite you to immerse yourself in the wild delights of Bhutan.

With a total of 10 wildlife sancutaries and parks, Bhutan is a paradise for those who are outdoorsy and interested in wildlife. You can enjoy the perfect serenity in nature in the Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park, the country’s largest park areawise, whose location is vital for many migratory bird species.

Jigme Dorji National Park is the second largest and it was included in Bhutan’s tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage Site inclusion as this is the only park in the country where the country’s four symbols can be found: the national tree (Cypress), National flower (Blue Poppy), National bird (Raven) and national animal (Takin) can be found.

Royal Manas National Park is the oldest park in the country and the most sought after destination for wildlife tours. Rich in wildlife species, including many of the endangered ones, it is a natural marvel that displays the distinct flora and fauna of Bhutan.

Bumdelling Wildlife Sanctuary was proposed as a UNESCO World Heritage site because of its cultural and natural importance in Bhutan. It hosts 42 species of mammals, over 700 species of plants, 18 species of snakes, more than 340 species of birds and 200 species of butterflies. In fact it is home to the only endemic butterfly of Bhutan called the Ludlow’s Bhutan Swallotail.
