Camera trap images have revealed that a tiger trekked from Sikkim to Bhutan, crossing the international boundary.
This tiger trekking validates the existence of essential wildlife corridors between India and Bhutan and underscores the need to protect them.
The tiger moved from Pangolakha Wildlife Sanctuary in Sikkim’s Pakyong district to Samtse district in Bhutan.
Pangolakha was established in 2002. It spans 128 square kilometres and serves as a crucial corridor for wildlife, particularly tigers, between India and Bhutan.
The Pangolakha Range, extending below the Chola Range, separates Sikkim from Bhutan.
Singalila Range separates Sikkim from Nepal in the West.
Chola Range separates Sikkim from Tibet and Bhutan in the East.
