Jigme Dorji National Park in Bhutan is unique in many ways. It is one of the oldest and largest protected areas in the Himalayas. All the three climate zones in Bhutan meet here. It is the only place in Bhutan where the national animal, flower, bird and tree-takin, blue poppy, raven, and cypress-exist together. Also, it is the only national park where the snow leopard meets the Bengal tiger. Some of the most dangerous glaciers in Bhutan can also be found here.
Jigme Dorji National Park is endowed with a high number of endangered plants and animals. It is a treasure trove of medicinal plants, natural hot springs and medicinal waters. It is one of the most biologically diverse regions in the Eastern Himalayas. It is home to the takin, snow leopard, clouded leopard, Bengal tiger, bharal or Himalayan blue sheep, black musk deer, Himalayan black bear, red panda, Ussuri dhole, and spotted linsang. The Indian leopard, serow, sambar, barking deer, goral, marmot, pika and more than 300 species of birds too can be found here.
