This fascinating jungle reserve is currently closed to visitors because of political insurgencies in the bordering Indian state of Assam.
This internationally recognized sanctuary is home to the once-endangered golden langur (a monkey that is actually white during the summer), as well as the one-horned Asian rhinoceros, the Ganges freshwater dolphin, the royal Bengal tiger, the pygmy hog, elephants, buffalo and a variety of birds.
65 mi/105 km southeast of Thimphu.
