Narphu – Samdrupjongkhar birding route

The Narphu – Samdrup Jongkhar birding route, situated within an altitude range of 150 – 1900m  in Bhutan is known to be home to over 7 percent of the world’s bird species in various districts including Samdrupjongkhar owing to its rich forest coverage. About sixty kilometers away from the main town, from the base of the famous mirror cliff (melong brak) is the sub-tropical and warm-broadleaf forest, the ideal birdwatching route. It is home to about 360 different species of birds found in Bhutan. Beautiful Nuthatch, Crimson Sunbird, Asian Emerald Cuckoo, Greater Goldenback, Ruby-cheeked Sunbird, and White-browed Scimitar Babbler are some of the prominent bird species that fly around within this vegetation. The birding activities can be done in spring, fall, and winter. Narphu town, perched on the ridgeline of the jaw-dropping Narphu cliff, serves as the starting point for this route.
