Royal Manas National Park

The Royal Manas National Park spans an area of 1,057 km² (408 sq mi) and boasts a diverse range of wildlife due to its varied elevation. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is bordered by several other wildlife sanctuaries. The park is the fourth largest national park in Bhutan, covering the districts of Sarpang, Zhemgang, and Pemagatshel.

The park is accessible from the southern town of Gelephu, known for the Gelephu Mindfulness City.

Visitors can spot elephants, rhinoceroses, and endangered golden langurs, among other species.

The Manas region is inhabited by the Khengpas, one of Bhutan’s first settlers.
