JS Wangchuck National Park

Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park, erstwhile the Black Mountains National Park, was gazetted as a national park in 1995. With an area of 1730 km2, this is Bhutan‘s third largest national park after Wangchuck Centennial Park and Jigme Dorji National Park. It spans five Dzonghags and 10 geogs. The park links Jigme Dorji National Park and Wangchuck Centennial Park through biological corridors in the north and it is directly linked with Royal Manas National Park in the south, and thus provides connectivity between the northern and southern protected areas. Located centrally in the country, the National Park represents an important migratory corridor, especially for tiger and altitudinal migratory birds.
