Sarpang

About Sarpang

Sarpang dzongkhag spans the transition zone between the high Himalaya and the Indian plains, with the border town of Gelephu serving as a key southern entry point with its own domestic airport. The lowlands here are warm and forested, home to part of the Royal Manas National Park and its rich subtropical wildlife. It's a sharp contrast to the alpine landscapes most visitors associate with Bhutan, and a useful southern gateway for onward travel.
