Geography of Himalayan Kingdom Bhutan deals with the quintessential physical and social (cultural) resources of the country in developmental perspective. It begins with a brief history that unfolds recorded and conjectural facts about the past and also the development in recent times. This old Asian country being locked between two great neighbours, India and China, in the main has come to the limelight of global interest with the active effort of India.
