Page 11 of 25 Neora National Park Pristine dense mixed forest with a lot of bamboo covering a large area up to the Bhutan border with some pine on the lower slopes. Turning off the Dandim Road just past the monastery there is access for four-wheel drive vehicles to Neora, take the right fork for the National Park and the left fork takes you round the hillside along the lower edge of the park. The track up to the park takes you to the rangers hut and the track continues well beyond that point and is good walking, but it is also worth birding the lower parts of this track, even in the more open pine areas. There is also a good walking track that goes up through the bamboo from behind the ranger’s hut. The lower track is also worth exploring, getting out of your vehicle where it takes a sharp u-turn left to continue on foot around the hillside.
