The Jigme Khesar Strict Nature Reserve (formerly Toorsa Strict Nature Reserve) in Bhutan covers 609.51 square kilometres (235.33 sq mi) in Haa District, occupying most of its area. It borders Sikkim and Tibet to the west and is connected to Jigme Dorji National Park via a "biological corridor." Jigme Khesar contains the westernmost temperate forests of Bhutan, from broadleaf forests to alpine meadows and the small lakes of Sinchulungpa, at altitudes ranging from 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) to 4,800 metres (15,700 ft). Like Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary, Jigme Khesar has no resident human population.[1]
