Thimphu (/tɪmˈpuː/ tim-POOH; ཐིམ་ཕུག་ tʰim˥.pʰu˥) is the [capital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_city) and largest city of [Bhutan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhutan) [corpus](../Bhutan/ "in our corpus").[1](1/ "tree and pragmatics") It is situated in the western central part of Bhutan, and the surrounding valley is one of Bhutan's [dzongkhags](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzongkhag), the [Thimphu District](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thimphu_District).[2](2/ "tree and pragmatics") The ancient capital city of [Punakha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punakha) was replaced by Thimphu as the capital in 1955, and in 1961 Thimphu was officially declared the capital of the Kingdom of Bhutan by the 3rd [Druk Gyalpo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druk_Gyalpo) [Jigme Dorji Wangchuck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigme_Dorji_Wangchuck).[3](3/ "tree and pragmatics")

The city extends in a north–south direction on the west bank of the valley formed by the Wang Chhu, which flows out into India as the [Raidāk River](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raidāk_River).[4](4/ "tree and pragmatics") Thimphu is the [fifth highest capital in the world by altitude](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_capital_cities_by_elevation) and the highest capital in Asia, ranging from 2248 m to 2648 m.[\[2\]](page/5/#ref-2 "note 2")[\[3\]](page/5/#ref-3 "note 3")[\[4\]](page/5/#ref-4 "note 4") Unlike many capitals, Thimphu does not have its own airport, instead relying on the [Paro Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paro_Airport), accessible by road 52 km away.[5](5/ "tree and pragmatics")

Thimphu, as the political and [economic center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Bhutan) of Bhutan, has a dominant agriculture and livestock base, contributing to about 45% of the country's GNP.[\[5\]](page/5/#ref-5 "note 5")[6](6/ "tree and pragmatics") [Tourism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Bhutan), though a contributor to the economy, is strictly regulated, maintaining a balance between tradition, development, and modernization.[7](7/ "tree and pragmatics") Thimphu contains most of the important political buildings in Bhutan, including the [National Assembly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Assembly_%28Bhutan%29) of the parliamentary democracy and [Dechencholing Palace](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dechencholing_Palace), the official residence of the King, located to the north of the city.[8](8/ "tree and pragmatics") The city’s development is guided by the "Thimphu Structure Plan, 2002–2027", an urban plan aimed at protecting the fragile ecology of the valley.[9](9/ "tree and pragmatics") Some development has been supported by the [World Bank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Bank) and [Asian Development Bank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Development_Bank).[10](10/ "tree and pragmatics")

The [culture of Bhutan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Bhutan) is reflected fully in Thimphu, through literature, religion, customs, national dress code, monastic practices, music, dance, and media.[11](11/ "tree and pragmatics") The annual [Tshechu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tshechu) festival, held in September or October according to the [Bhutanese calendar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Bhutan), is a major event featuring mask dances known as [Cham dances](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cham_dance), performed in the courtyards of the [Tashichho Dzong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tashichho_Dzong).[12](12/ "tree and pragmatics")

## History

<!-- .mk -->
Further information: [History of Bhutan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Bhutan)

Before 1960, Thimphu consisted of a group of hamlets scattered across the valley including [Motithang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motithang), Changangkha, Changlimithang, Langchupakha, and Taba, some of which constitute districts of the city today (see below for district details).[\[6\]](page/5/#ref-6 "note 6")[13](13/ "tree and pragmatics") In 1885, a battle was held at what is now the Changlimithang sports ground in Thimphu.[14](14/ "tree and pragmatics") The decisive victory opened the way for [Ugyen Wangchuck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugyen_Wangchuck), the first King of Bhutan, to virtually control the whole country.[\[7\]](page/5/#ref-7 "note 7")[15](15/ "tree and pragmatics") Since this time the sports ground has been of major importance to the city; football, cricket matches and archery competitions take place there.[16](16/ "tree and pragmatics") The modern [Changlimithang Stadium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changlimithang_Stadium) was built on the site in 1974.[17](17/ "tree and pragmatics") Under the Wangchuck dynasty, the country enjoyed peace and progress under successive reformist monarchs.[18](18/ "tree and pragmatics") The third king, [Jigme Dorji Wangchuck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigme_Dorji_Wangchuck), reformed the old pseudo-feudal systems by abolishing serfdom, redistributing land, and reforming taxation.[19](19/ "tree and pragmatics") He also introduced many executive, legislative, and judiciary reforms.[20](20/ "tree and pragmatics") Reforms continued and in 1952 the decision was made to shift the capital from the ancient capital of [Punakha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punakha) to Thimphu.[\[6\]](page/5/#ref-6 "note 6")[21](21/ "tree and pragmatics") The fourth king, [Jigme Singye Wangchuck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigme_Singye_Wangchuck), opened the country for development and India provided the needed impetus in this process with financial and other forms of assistance.[22](22/ "tree and pragmatics") In 1961, Thimphu officially became the capital of Bhutan.[23](23/ "tree and pragmatics")

Bhutan joined the [Colombo Plan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colombo_Plan) in 1962, the [Universal Postal Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Postal_Union) in 1969 and became a member of the [United Nations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations) in 1971.[24](24/ "tree and pragmatics") The presence of diplomatic missions and international funding organizations in Thimphu resulted in rapid expansion of Thimphu as a metropolis.[\[8\]](page/5/#ref-8 "note 8")[\[9\]](page/5/#ref-9 "note 9")[\[10\]](page/5/#ref-10 "note 10")[25](25/ "tree and pragmatics")

The fourth king, who had established the National Assembly in 1953, devolved all executive powers to a council of ministers elected by the people in 1998.[26](26/ "tree and pragmatics") He introduced a system of voting no confidence in the king, which empowered the parliament to remove the monarch.[27](27/ "tree and pragmatics") The National Constitution Committee in Thimphu started drafting the Constitution of the Kingdom of Bhutan in 2001.[28](28/ "tree and pragmatics") In 2005, the fourth king of Bhutan announced his decision to hand over the reins of his kingdom to his son Prince Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuk.[29](29/ "tree and pragmatics") The coronation of the king was held in Thimphu at the refurbished [Changlimithang Stadium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changlimithang_Stadium) and coincided with the centenary of the establishment of the [House of Wangchuck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Wangchuck).[\[8\]](page/5/#ref-8 "note 8")[\[9\]](page/5/#ref-9 "note 9")[\[10\]](page/5/#ref-10 "note 10")[30](30/ "tree and pragmatics") In 2008, this paved way for the transition from absolute monarchic rule to a parliamentary democratic constitutional monarchy, with Thimphu as the headquarters of the new government, with the national defined objective of achieving "[Gross National Happiness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_National_Happiness)" (GNH) concomitant with the growth of [Gross National Product](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measures_of_national_income_and_output) (GNP).[\[8\]](page/5/#ref-8 "note 8")[\[9\]](page/5/#ref-9 "note 9")[\[10\]](page/5/#ref-10 "note 10")[31](31/ "tree and pragmatics")

## Geography and climate

Thimphu is situated in the constricted, linear valley of the Raidāk River, which is also known as the Thimphu River (Thim Chuu or Wangchhu).[32](32/ "tree and pragmatics") While the surrounding hills are in an altitudinal range of 2,000 to(-) 3,800 m (warm [temperate climate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperate_climate) between 2,000 to(-) 3,000 m and cold temperate zone between 3,000–3,800 m), the city itself has an altitude range varying between 2,248 m and 2,648 m. It is these two variations in altitude and climate which determine the habitable zones and vegetation typology for the valley.[33](33/ "tree and pragmatics") The valley, however, is thinly-forested and is spread out to the north and west.[34](34/ "tree and pragmatics") At the southern end of the city, the Lungten Zampa bridge connects the east and west banks of the Wang Chuu which flows through the heart of city.[\[2\]](page/5/#ref-2 "note 2")[\[11\]](page/5/#ref-11 "note 11")[\[12\]](page/5/#ref-12 "note 12")[35](35/ "tree and pragmatics")

The Raidāk River raises in the snow fields at an altitude of about 7000 m. It has many tributaries that flow from the Himalayan peaks that largely dictate the topography of the Thimphu valley.[36](36/ "tree and pragmatics") The Thimphu valley, so formed, is delimited by a steep eastern ridge that rises from the riverbed and a valley formation with gradually sloping topography, extending from Dechencholing and Simtokha, on the western banks of the Raidāk.[37](37/ "tree and pragmatics") The north–south orientation of the hill ranges of the valley means that they are exposed to moist monsoon winds which engulf the inner Himalayas and its lower valleys.[38](38/ "tree and pragmatics") However, the [windward and leeward](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windward_and_leeward) sides of the hill ranges have different vegetation patterns depending on the varying rainfall incidence in the two sides.[39](39/ "tree and pragmatics") Thimphu Valley, lying in the leeward side of the mountains, is comparatively dry and contains a different type of vegetation as compared to the windward side.[40](40/ "tree and pragmatics") Hence, the coniferous vegetation in the valley is attributed to this phenomenon.[41](41/ "tree and pragmatics") Punakha, the old capital of Bhutan, is on the windward side with broad-leaved trees dominating the topography.[\[2\]](page/5/#ref-2 "note 2")[\[4\]](page/5/#ref-4 "note 4")[\[11\]](page/5/#ref-11 "note 11")[42](42/ "tree and pragmatics")

The city experiences a southwest [monsoon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsoon)-influenced [subtropical highland climate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_climate) ([Cwb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köppen_climate_classification)).[43](43/ "tree and pragmatics") The southwest monsoon rainfall occurs during mid-April to September.[44](44/ "tree and pragmatics") Lightning and thunder often precedes rainfall in the region with [cumulonimbus clouds](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulonimbus_clouds) and light showers dominating the weather.[\[2\]](page/5/#ref-2 "note 2")[\[4\]](page/5/#ref-4 "note 4")[45](45/ "tree and pragmatics") Continuous rainfall for several days occurs resulting in landslides and blockage of roads.[46](46/ "tree and pragmatics") Streams and rivers swell up carrying huge amounts of debris from forests.[47](47/ "tree and pragmatics") Deep puddles, thick mud, and landslides along roads form barriers to transportation.[48](48/ "tree and pragmatics") Cold winds, low temperatures at night, and moderate temperatures during the day, cloudiness, light showers and snowfall mark winter weather in this zone.[49](49/ "tree and pragmatics") Fog causes poor visibility, which poses a threat to vehicular traffic in the city.[\[2\]](page/5/#ref-2 "note 2")[\[4\]](page/5/#ref-4 "note 4")[50](50/ "tree and pragmatics") As spring approaches, the landscape is marked by violent winds and relatively dry and clear skies.[\[2\]](page/5/#ref-2 "note 2")[\[4\]](page/5/#ref-4 "note 4")[51](51/ "tree and pragmatics")

## Demographics

According to the census of 31 May 2005, the population of the city was 79,185 with a density of 3029 /sqkm, with 92,929 over an area of 1843 km2 in the entire district; the corresponding figure projected in 2010 for the district was 104,200.[\[13\]](page/5/#ref-13 "note 13")[52](52/ "tree and pragmatics") In 2011, the city's population was about 91,000.[\[14\]](page/5/#ref-14 "note 14")[53](53/ "tree and pragmatics")
