Bhutan - A view of Thimphu, the capital and largest city situated in a valley and surrounded by mountains

Situated in Western Bhutan, Thimphu is the capital city and also the name of the valley which has an average elevation of 2300m. With an estimated population of around 100,000 Thimphu is Bhutan's largest city. Rapid expansion following rural exodus has resulted in rebuilding in the city centre and mushrooming suburban development elsewhere. By regulation, all buildings are required to be designed in traditional style with Buddhist paintings and motifs.
