Thimbu

Thimphu

Thimphu /tɪmˈpuː/, also in the past spelled as Thimpu, is the capital and largest city of Bhutan. It is situated in the western central part of Bhutan and the surrounding valley is one of Bhutan's dzongkhags, the Thimphu District. The city became the capital of Bhutan in 1961. As of 2005 it had a population of 79,185, with 98,676 people living in the entire Thimphu district. The city is spread out longitudinally in a north-south direction on the west bank of the valley formed by the Wang Chuu, also known as the Thimphu Chuu River. Thimphu is located at 27°28′00″N 89°38′30″E / 27.46667°N 89.64167°E / 27.46667; 89.64167Coordinates: 27°28′00″N 89°38′30″E / 27.46667°N 89.64167°E / 27.46667; 89.64167 and is spread over an altitudinal range between 2,248 metres and 2,648 metres.

Thimphu, as the political and economic center of Bhutan, has a dominant agricultural and livestock base, which contributes to 45% of the country's GNP.
