“The elephant population of Gaylegphug used to be so large that the area was once known as Hatisar meaning The Land of Elephants”, sadly, many of the forests in this area have disappeared and continue to disappear and along with them, much of the elephant population”-Dasho Paljor J. Dorji, Bhutan’s conservationist extraordinaire. Asiatic Elephants are confined to the southern plains and foothills amongst tall trees. Migration of the population is seasonal between India and Bhutan. In Bhutan, they can be sighted in the districts of Samdrupjongkhar, Sarpang, Tsirang, Samtse, and Gedu. Scientifically named Elephus maximus, the Asian elephant is Asia’s largest living megaherbivore that shares deep bonds with some of Asia’s most amazing faiths and cultural practices.
