Phrumsengla National Park

The protected area spans 905 square kilometers across Bumthang, Lhuentse, Mongar, and Zhemgang districts, featuring elevations from 700 to 4,400 meters above sea level.

The establishment of Phrumsengla National Park in 1998 marked a significant step in preserving the last remaining cool temperate broadleaved forests in the Himalayas.

The park supports 11,000 residents in surrounding communities who maintain traditional agro-pastoral practices while adhering to environmental conservation principles.

Visitors can access the park via the Lateral Road, which crosses through the area and includes Bhutan's highest driveable mountain pass.

The park contains 623 plant species, including 152 medicinal varieties, and provides habitat for 361 bird species and 71 mammal species, including tigers and red pandas.
