Thimphu (alt. 2400m/7875ft) - The capital town of Bhutan and the centre of government, religion and commerce, Thimphu is a unique city with unusual mixture of modern development alongside ancient traditions.
There are many ways to see Bhutan. A short trip for a week or less will introduce you to the world's last remaining Himalayan kingdom, with visits to the Paro and Thimphu valleys and perhaps an excursion to Punakha, the ancient capital.
Foreign sources placed Bhutan’s population at 2,094,176 in 2002. However, the official 1990 estimate by the Bhutanese government gave the country’s population as about 600,000.
