Bhutan
Bhutan is a landlocked country. It is about 47,000 kilometers - roughly the size of Switzerland. It is located between Tibet in the north, Indian states of West Bengal and Assam in the south, and Acronychal Pradesh in the east. It is a land of soaring snowcapped peaks, alpine meadows and densely forested hills and ravines abounding in exotic flora and fauna. From May to August, hills are covered with an awesome variety of flowers decorated with waterfalls and streams gushing in wild.

The climate is humid and subtropical in the southern plains and foothills, temperate in the inner Himalayan valleys of the southern and central regions, and cold in the north, with year-round snow on the main Himalayan summits.
Temperatures in Thimphu, located at 2,200 meters above sea level in west-central Bhutan, range from approximately 15ºC to 26ºC during the monsoon season of June through September but drop to between about -4ºC and 16ºC in January. Most of the central portion of the country experiences a cool, temperate climate year-round. In the south, a hot, humid climate helps maintain a fairly even temperature range of between 15ºC and 30ºC year-round, although temperatures sometimes reach 40ºC in the valleys during the summer. |
