In Bhutan, in addition to the standard Buddhist festivals, there are yearly festivals celebrated with great fanfare in each district.
Bhutan is divided into twenty dzongkhags (districts), administered by a body called the Dzongkhag Tshogdu.
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.
