Highlight
Bhutan's oldest national park, called the crown jewel of Bhutanese conservation
Established in 1966, it is the oldest national park in Bhutan and is officially described by the government as the crown jewel of its conservation system. It shares a porous, unfenced border with Manas National Park in the Indian state of Assam, forming with it a cross-border biological corridor along which tigers, elephants and golden langurs move freely between the two countries, with political borders doing nothing to interrupt their traditional migration routes.
