Bhutan-a small Kingdom in South Asia

Bhutan is a small landlocked country in South Asia. Once a de facto protectorate of the British Empire, currently Bhutan is an independent dominion. The Kingdom of Bhutan has a territory of 38,394 square kilometers (14,824 sq mi) and ranks 133rd in terms of land area and 160th in population. The Bhutanese currency Bhutanese ngultrum is linked with Indian Rupees. Bhutan’s state religion is Vajrayana Buddhism and its second highest religion is Hinduism.

The earliest introduction of Bhutan in the world was from the 1627 Relação of the Portuguese Jesuits Estêvão Casella and João Cabral.
