Does Bhutan tourism belong to the plateau?

Bhutan's topography is very different, with high in the north and low in the south. It gradually descends from north to south and is divided into northern mountains, central valleys and southern hilly plains. Except the Duval Plain in the south, mountains account for more than 95% of the total area.

In addition, Bhutan's altitude varies greatly. One is the Manas River, the lowest in the country, located in the southeast, with an altitude of only 97 meters. The other is the northern Himalayas, where the peaks are all above 6000 to 7000 meters above sea level.

Mount Kulakangri is 7554 meters above sea level, which is the highest point in Bhutan. Glaciers in Bhutan are mainly distributed in the mountains in northern Bhutan, accounting for 10% of the total area of Bhutan. These glaciers are an important source of renewable water resources for rivers in Bhutan, which can bring a lot of fresh water resources to the people of Bhutan every year.
