Royal Botanical Park (Information source: Nature and Ecotourism Recreational Division)
Situated at an altitude range of 2100 metres to 3750 metres, the Royal Government of Bhutan has created the country’s first Royal Botanical Park in an area of high conservation value. The park features a variety of forest types, spectacular scenery, natural rhododendron groves, endangered wildlife and a lake. These natural attributes have been complemented with a Visitors’ Information Centre, Café, walking tracks, a garden showcasing 46 native rhododendrons and many flowering herbs, picnic and camping sites and gazebo shelters. The park has conservation, research, education and recreation functions. The RBP also plays a part in achieving Gross National Happiness by protecting, promoting and educating people about the natural and cultural heritage of the Dochula area. The park provides a friendly place for families and friends to spend time together in a natural environment besides providing a visitor attraction.
