Bhutan capital

The map shows Bhutan, officially the Kingdom of Bhutan, also known as Druk Yul - the Land of Thunder Dragon. The kingdom is a landlocked country on the southern slopes of the eastern Himalayas. It borders the Indian states of Sikkim in the west, West Bengal and Assam in the south, and Arunachal Pradesh in the east, and it shares a border with With an The country's landscape offers three major regions. South of the outer foothills of the Himalayas along its southern border are the Dooars (Duar). The Terai-Duar savanna and grasslands are Bhutan's very narrow portion of the subtropical and tropical alluvial floodplains of the Ganges-Brahmaputra lowlands (Indo-Gangetic Plain). To the north of the plains the land rises steeply, the landscape is dominated by the mountains of the Sub-Himalayan Range. The kingdom has one of the most rugged mountain terrains in the world. The 1,000 to 3,000 m high ranges of the sub-alpine Himalayan region (Outer Himalaya) are the main settlement area. The high mountain region lies south of the border to Tibet with hundreds of unnamed, unmapped, and unclimbed peaks. The Great Himalaya range is home to Bhutan's highest mountain, the 7,570 m high Gangkhar Puensum, which is most likely the highest mountain in the world which has never been climbed by a human being. Bhutan has a For centuries the kingdom has remained completely isolated from the outside world. Only in 1974, Bhutan began to open its isolated country to foreigners; 287 tourists visited Bh...

A small, landlocked nation nestled in the heart of the Eastern Himalayas in South Asia, What Is The Capital Of Bhutan And Where Is It Located? The only settlement with a city status in Bhutan, Thimpu is also the capital of the Kingdom of Bhutan. The city is based on the western bank of the Raidāk River valley in west-central Bhutan. The elevation of Thimpu ranges between 2,248 meters and 2,648 meters, making it the world’s third highest capital city. Unlike most national capital cities of the world, the international airport of Bhutan is not located in Thimpu but in Paro about 54 km away. History Of The Capital City Of Bhutan Prior to 1960, the area that is now the thriving capital of Bhutan, Thimpu, was occupied by several small hamlets. The area was witness to one of the most decisive battles in the history of the country in 1885 which led to the establishment of the rule of the Wangchu Dynasty with Ugyen Wangchuck becoming the first King of Bhutan. Under the dynasty, the Kingdom thrived and the progressive decisions taken by the rulers were welcomed by Bhutan’s people. Although Punakha was the former capital of Bhutan, in 1952, a decision was taken by the king to shift the capital to Thimpu. The city was formally recognized as the country’s capital in 1961. In 1971, after Bhutan became a member of the United Nations, Thimpu has rapidly developed due to the presence of international funding organizations and diplomatic missions in the country. The city hosts a population...

O n January 7, a 34-year-old man who had been admitted to a hospital in Bhutan’s capital, Thimphu, with preexisting liver and kidney problems died of COVID-19. His was the country’s first death from the coronavirus. Not the first death that day, that week, or that month: the very first coronavirus death since the pandemic began. How is this possible? Since the novel coronavirus was first identified more than a year ago, health systems in rich and poor countries have approached collapse, economies worldwide have been devastated, millions of lives have been lost. How has Bhutan—a tiny, poor nation best known for its guiding policy of Gross National Happiness, which balances economic development with environmental conservation and cultural values—managed such a feat? And what can we in the United States, which has so tragically mismanaged the crisis, learn from its success? In fact, what can the U.S. and other wealthy countries learn from the array of resource-starved counterparts that have better weathered the coronavirus pandemic, even if those nations haven’t achieved Bhutan’s impressive statistics? Countries such as Vietnam, which has so far logged only 35 deaths, Rwanda, with 226, Senegal, with 700, and plenty of others have negotiated the crisis far more smoothly than have Europe and North America. These nations offer plenty of lessons, from the importance of attentive leadership, the need to ensure that people have enough provisions and financial means to follow public...
