Detailed explanation-1: -Thimphu, also spelled Thimbu, capital of Bhutan. The city, situated in the west-central part of the country, is in the Himalaya Mountains on the Raidak (also called Thimphu, or Wong) River at about 7, 000 feet (2, 000 metres) above sea level.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ancient capital city of Punakha was replaced by Thimphu as capital in 1955, and in 1961 Thimphu was declared as the capital of the Kingdom of Bhutan by the 3rd Druk Gyalpo Jigme Dorji Wangchuck.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thimphu, the modern-day capital of Bhutan, is known to the small but growing band of visitors to the tiny Himalayan kingdom, but if it’s tranquillity and antique charm you’re after, the former capital of Punakha is the place to head for.
