Southern Valley of Medicinal Herbs'. Besides these rare herbs, the Bhutanese
seasons are reflected in full colour by wild flowers and plants which carpet the
mountainsides.
The best example of Eco-Tourism in Bhutan is Phobjikha Valley where the people out there practised Eco-Tourism.They get benefits from Government as well as NGOs (non-government organisations) like RSPN (Roya society for protection of nature).

The dense forests, also ranging from the sub-tropical to the temperate, are home to numerous rate and endangered species of wildlife like the Blue Sheep, the elusive Snow Leopard, the Himalayan Black Bear, the Golden langur, the Takin, the Tiger.Several northern valleys are home to the Black Necked Crane in winter. With the beauty of the majestic snow-capped peaks and fertile valleys, the clean crisp air, unpolluted habitats, and large tracts of virgin forests, Bhutan is, indeed, a unique world .
