Zhemgang

Zhemgang is a region with a staggering amount of biodiversity. There are 22 endangered animal species in its beautiful woodlands, including the Golden Langur. The district's northern sections have reasonably temperate temperatures, even though much of it is hot and humid.

Zhemgang is unique in that it is one of the remaining places in the world where traditional Bon (Animist) religious traditions are still practiced. Even though Buddhism is gaining popularity in the area, animist traditions are still practiced in every region, and Bon priests known as Bonpo are revered religious leaders. Zhemgang's residents are known for their rich culture, especially their folk music and dances. They're also known for their ability to make Bangchungs (matted bamboo bowls), Palangs (alcohol containers), Balak's (hats), mats, and boxes out of bamboo. They are also skilled potters, and their earthenware has long been admired throughout the country.

Buli Lhakhang and Tharpa Choeling Lhakhang are two of the most well-known Buddhist temples in the area. Terton Pema Lingpa, a prominent revealer of Guru Rimpoche's buried holy treasures, built these ancient temples.

The Royal Manas National Park is one of Zhemgang's most noteworthy attractions. The Kingdom of Bhutan's oldest nature preserve is this protected park. Hundreds of unique animal and plant species, such as Golden Langurs, Gangetic Dolphins, and the Asian One-horned Rhinoceros, are found nowhere else on the planet thanks to its extraordinary biodiversity. The park is the kingdom's most biologically diversified protected region, as well as one of the world's most renowned wildlife reserves.
