The Bumdeling Wildlife Sanctuary is characterized by its varied topography, ranging from lush valleys to rugged mountain terrain, with elevations ranging from 1,500 to 6,000 meters above sea level. Three major rivers meandering through this wildlife sanctuary are the Kulong Chhu in the east, Khoma Chhu in the west, and Sheri Chhu in the south.

Bumdeling Wildlife Sanctuary has a remarkable array of ecosystems, including subtropical forests in the lower valleys, temperate broadleaf forests in the mid-altitude regions, and alpine meadows and coniferous forests in the higher elevations. These diverse habitats support an abundance of flora and fauna, including rare and endangered species such as the black-necked crane, Himalayan black bear, red panda, and langur monkeys.
