Map #1: Language Distribution
The map above shows the language distribution throughout Bhutan. As one can see, the pink overwhelms every other color, which correlates to Central Bodic language, which is a language umbrella that includes Dzongkha, which was instituted as the official language of Bhutan in 1961.

1.) This first picture is of the famous monastery named Paro Taktsang, which is known as the “Tiger’s Nest.” This is a human feature of the most elegant degree, with it being built into the side of a mountain. This is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Bhutan, but also is one of the most important monasteries that has been around since 1692. 2.) This picture is of the Royal Bhutan Monastery, which is another famous monastery located in Bodh Gaya. It is adorned with many clay carvings that together depict the life and trials of Buddha, which is a massive point of tourism. It also hosts a group of Buddhist monks who teach classes and seminars inside, and also houses tourists. This human made feature is the most well-known monastery in Bodh Gaya, which stimulates the tourist economy in the town. 3.) This picture is of the Khamsum Yulley Namgyal, which is a beautiful human made temple in the Punakha Valley of Bhutan. It stands 4 stories tall, and was constructed over a span of 9 years, dedicated to the well-being and success of all living humans. This is a beautiful end to a long hike throughout the valley, which is a massive tourist destination if one can bare the trek. 4.) This photo is that of the interior of the aforementioned Royal Bhutan Monastery. The outside view of the monastery is stunning itself, but the sight of the intricate altars that are constructed inside the temple are amazing. This temple brings a massive amount of tourism to Bodh Gaya, and is a great example of human made features, with great detail being put into the whole altar. 5.) This photo is of Chimi Lhakhang, a massive monastery that is located in the hills of Bhutan, near the Lobesa area. The monastery itself is a sight to see, it is very wide and houses a ton of monks while studying, and also is positioned on a rather high up hillock. This temple is an important human made object because it was designed and created by Drukpa Kunley, a Buddhist saint dubbed the “divine madman.” It still is a large tourist area, and individuals take pilgrimage to it to get blessings upon upcoming children. 6.) This photo is of the Wandgi countryside of Bhutan. These are all farming plots, terraced out and layered throughout the mountains. These are all of the farming areas that their crops get grown in, with few farmers living on the mountainside itself. This is a beautiful example of nature made landscape, which the Bhutanese farmers have put to use very well creating their produce. 7.) This photo is of the countryside outside Paro, Bhutan. It shows the expansive mountains with a small running river in-between the banks of the mountains. This is a stellar example of the nature made countryside, exhibiting the expansive mountains of Bhutan, which look ripe for exploring. 8.) This picture is of a gorgeous rocky river way in the countryside of Bhutan. This is the epitome of nature made environment, with it looking almost untouched by human hands. The pristine blue water juxtaposed with the luscious green mountainside is a great illustration of the natural beauty of the Bhutanese mountain range. 9.) This is a gorgeous photo of the Trongsa Dzong town at the bottom left, but the more important part of the photo is that of the breathtaking countryside and rolling mountains just past the town. This is the penultimate natural made environment, with the massive mountains leading down to the bright blue river that weaves its way through the mountain range. This river, like a lot of rivers in Bhutan, provides drinking water to the residents of Trongsa Dzong. 10.) This gorgeous photo is of the countryside just outside Thimphu, which is the capital of Bhutan. This photo shows the natural environment seemingly untouched by human hands. It’s a simple river that runs into the middle of Thimphu and snakes around the edges of the capital city. It also supplies the capital with drinking water and accessible water for farmers to use for their crops. Bibliography:
