Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, is located in the eastern Himalayas at an altitude of 2,320 meters and is the political, economic and cultural center of Bhutan. The city is a blend of tradition and modernity, with a Tibetan style of architecture with religious overtones, and the iconic Tashichoe Dzong, once a royal residence, is now used as a government office. Thimphu retains a strong sense of Bhutanese culture, with national monuments, a traditional textile museum and the annual Tshechu festival, which showcases Buddhist rituals and folk dances. The city is surrounded by forests and is known for its "Happiness Index", with tourism and agriculture as the main industries, making it an ideal place to experience Bhutan's "Gross National Happiness" philosophy.
