It shares borders with Royal Manas National Park to the south and connects with Jigme Dorji National Park, Wangchuck Centennial National Park, and Phrumsengla National Park through biological corridors, forming a continuous belt between tropical south and alpine north. Administering five districts partially, the 1730 sq.km park, established in 1995, focuses on securing ecological connectivity and conserving the natural and cultural treasures of Central Bhutan. Embodying the middle Himalayan ecosystem, JSWNP encompasses various biomes from sub-tropical to alpine meadow.
