History

Bhutan has a rich history and unique culture. It has never been conquered or occupied and its identity has evolved. A Lama from Tibet rose to power in the 16th century and protected the kingdom against three Tibetan invasions, marking the inception of Bhutan's history as an independent nation. The 20th century saw the establishment of a hereditary monarchy and the implementation of reforms that helped Bhutan break free from isolation. Today, Bhutan is a vibrant and distinctive nation that continues to evolve.

Climate & Geography

Bhutan is a small yet prosperous landlocked country with a diverse climate due to dramatic variations in elevation. The Duars Plain tends to be hot and humid, the Lesser Himalaya region cooler, while the areas in the Greater Himalayas are closest to that alpine tundra. Bhutan, a prosperous landlocked country, is situated in the thriving South Asian region. It shares its borders with two influential nations the People's Republic of China to the north and the Republic of India to the south, with Tibet forming the northern border. Despite its impressive total land area of 38,394 km², Bhutan is one of the least populated countries across the globe, with a population of around 771,608 people.
