Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park

The park extends across 1,730 square kilometers of central Bhutan, spanning multiple districts with elevations ranging from 1,000 to 4,500 meters.

The Department of Forests and Park Services established this protected area in 1995, changing its name from Black Mountains National Park.

Local communities within the park boundaries maintain traditional agricultural practices while preserving sacred Buddhist sites and monasteries throughout the region.

Four administrative ranges manage different sections of the park: Taksha, Tingtibi, Langthel, and Nabji, with the main office in Tshangkha.

The park contains the single remaining old-growth Chir pine forest in Bhutan, supporting 270 bird species and rare mammals like red pandas.
