The jungle owlet is found south of the Himalayas and in some parts of the Himalayas up to about 2,000m, extending from Dalhousie in the west east to Bhutan. The breeding season in India is March to May, and it nests in the hollow of a tree at a height of 3 to 5m. The typical clutch is four eggs (Wikipedia, general species account).
The source read for the Bhutan guide gives these range and nesting details only. No plumage, size, call or diet information was found, so none is stated, and the entry is kept short.
