Host Karma Jamtsho has designed a wonderful birding tour all across Bhutan, including a visit to Jigme Dorji National Park. Some nights are spent in hotels and others in tents. Among the rare birds to be seen are the White-bellied Heron, White-gorgeted Flycatcher, Ward's Trogon, Chestnut-breasted Partridge and the Yellow-rumped Honeyguide. Habitat types include oak forests, fir, rhodendron, oak, bamboo forests, and pine forests.

Host Karma Jamtsho provides the basic cultural tour of Bhutan, hitting all the usual spots. However, since Karma deals with very small groups he is able to customize your visit better than larger operations. Here an 8-day itinerary is suggested, but Karma is happy to accommodate shorter visits.
