Geography of Bhutan World Facts Index Bhutan Map of Bhutan The Land Early British visitors to Bhutan reported "dark and steep glens, and the high tops of mountains lost in the clouds, constitut[ing] altogether a scene of extraordinary magnificence and sublimity." One of the most rugged mountain terrains in the world, it has elevations ranging from 160 meters to more than 7,000 meters above sea level, in some cases within distances of less than 100 kilometers of each other. Bhutan's highest peak, at 7,554 meters above sea level, is north-central Kulha Gangri, close to the border with China; the second highest peak, Chomo Lhari, overlooking the Chumbi Valley in the west, is 7,314 meters above sea level; nineteen other peaks exceed 7,000 meters. In the north, the snowcapped Great Himalayan Range reaches heights of over 7,500 meters above sea level and extends along the Bhutan-China border. The northern region consists of an arc of glaciated mountain peaks with an arctic climate at the highest elevations. Watered by snow-fed rivers, alpine valleys in this region provide pasturage for livestock tended by a sparse population of migratory shepherds. The Inner Himalayas are southward spurs of the Great Himayalan Range. The Black Mountains, in central Bhutan, form a watershed between two major river systems, the Mo Chhu and the Drangme Chhu (chhu means river). Peaks in the Black Mountains range between 1,500 meters and 2,700 meters above sea level, and the fast-flowing rivers have carved out spectacular gorges in the lower mountain areas. The woodlands of the central region provide most of Bhutan's valuable forest production. Eastern Bhutan is divided by another southward spur, the Donga Range. Western Bhutan has fertile, cultivated valleys and terraced river basins.

Bhutan Bhutan Geography Kingdom of Bhutan is tucked away it the extreme eastern Himalayas, sharing its borders with China and India. Its perimeter stretches for about 1075 kilometers, out of which it shares 470 kilometers of its border to the north and northwest with Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China and 605 kilometers of its border to the south, southwest and east with the Republic of India. The Indian states bordering Bhutan in clockwise order are Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, West Bengal and Sikkim. Other nations that are close neighbors to Bhutan are Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar (previously known as Burma) that are separated only by very small stretches of Indian Territory. The Kingdom of Nepal lies to its west, the People's Republic of Bangladesh is towards the south of Bhutan while the Union of Myanmar is to its southeast. Bhutan is small and compact and is almost a square, though it has more length than width and the total area of the nation is approximate 47,000 km�. Politically, it is divided into 20 dzongkhag (meaning district) that are further subdivided into 201 gewog (meaning constituency or group of villages, cities or towns). Since, it is a landlocked nation, situated inland, it has no territorial waters under its control just like Switzerland. At the time when India was under the control of British East India Company, Bhutan's territory extended into the present-day Indian state of Assam and the then kingdom of Cooch Behar, but in 1772, British started fighting back and pushing back its borders and cutting down on Bhutan�s size. There were number of wars and treaties for about hundred years until the Treaty of Sinchulu of 1865, when Bhutan manages to wrench out some of its borderland back.
