Wild Bhutan

Nature & Wildlife

Protected landscapes, alpine meadows and forested valleys where wildlife and quiet still share the same ground.

Phobjikha & black-necked cranes

Each winter, black-necked cranes return to the open wetlands of Phobjikha — a glacial valley of mist, farmland and mountain quiet.

Forests and flora

From subtropical foothills to alpine scrub, Bhutan’s elevation bands support remarkable biodiversity. Conservation is central to how land and tourism are managed.

Birdwatching journeys

Guided wildlife and birdwatching itineraries follow seasonal movements and carefully chosen habitats across central and western valleys.

Trekking country

Dagala, Jomolhari, Laya–Gasa and the legendary Snowman Trek offer routes through high meadows, remote villages and mountain passes.
