Bumthang District
The Kingdom of Bumthang was one of several small kingdoms within the territory of modern Bhutan before the first consolidation under "Zhabdrung" Ngawang Namgyal in 1616. After initial consolidation, the Bumthang Kingdom became Bumthang Province, one of the nine Provinces of Bhutan. The region was roughly analogous to modern day Bumthang District. It was again consolidated into the modern Kingdom of Bhutan in 1907.
