Also known as the Kingdom of Bhutan, it is a small nation that is mostly covered with verdant forested hills and mighty Himalayas. The country historically has been isolated and remote, preserving its cultures and traditions but it has also been accelerating in the sector of sustainable development in recent years. 

The native name of the country is Druk Yul, which means "Land of the Thunder Dragon," and it only became accessible to outsiders in the 1970s. The capital city is known as Thimphu. The country is divided into three regions, the Great Himalayas, the Lesser Himalayas, and the Duars Plain, from north to south. Despite being a small nation, it has a diverse range of physical attributes as well as the climatic conditions. The temperatures range from hot and humid in the planes to tundra cold in the Himalayas, with moderate temperatures in between.
