Thimphu is the Bhutanese capital, and the centre of government, religion and commerce. The town is, by Bhutanese standards, relatively lively and displays an interesting combination of tradition and modernity. Home to civil servants, expatriates and the monk body, Thimphu maintains a strong national character in its architectural style.
