Bhutan is a bird watcher’s delight. It is home to 770 species including many that are globally threatened for extinction. The rich diversity of Bhutan’s bird species is mainly due to its moist climate, wide altitudinal range of 200m at the southern border to over 700m sky piercing Himalayan peaks in the north, low population density, vast forest cover, and the government’s strong nature and environmental conservation policy. Some 72% of Bhutan is enveloped by thick forests, lending even more grandeur to the valleys and rugged hillside. Butterflies, the size of teacups flutter among more than 5,000 species of plants.
