If you are traveling by car, start from Dagana town. Head east on the main road (Dagana-Thimphu Highway) for approximately 10 kilometers. Look for signs directing you towards Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary. You'll need to turn onto a dirt road, which is well-marked. Continue for another 8 kilometers until you reach the entrance of the sanctuary. Ensure that your vehicle is suitable for dirt roads, as some sections may be rough.

Public Transportation
For those using public transport, catch a local bus from Dagana town heading towards Tsirang. Inform the driver that you would like to get off at the Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary stop (which is usually well-known among locals). The bus ride should take around 30 minutes. Once you disembark, follow the path leading towards the sanctuary entrance, which is about a 15-minute walk from the bus stop. Be sure to check the bus schedule ahead of time, as services may not run frequently.
-
Taxi
Alternatively, you can hire a taxi from Dagana town. This is a convenient option if you're traveling with a group or have luggage.
