Bhutan's
climate is as varied as its
landscape: in the southern
plains the climate is
tropical, while the central
valleys are cool. The
Himalayas
have severe winters and mild
summers. The monsoon season
is from June to August. In
general the best time to
visit is spring and autumn
when there are many Buddhist
festivals.
Dzongkha is the national language of Bhutan. It has some
similarity to Tibetan in speaking, while the alphabets
are exactly same as Tibetan (but uses different style of
scripts). The Ngultrum,
often denoted by BTN, is the official currency used in
Bhutan. Equal in value to the Indian Rupee (through a
1:1 peg), the currency is subdivided into 100 chertrums. The
population of Bhutan in 2003 was estimated by
the United Nations at 2257000,
which placed it as number 139 in population among
the 193 nations of the world. Thimphu
is the capital of Royal State of Bhutan
and the best kept secret destination in the world.
