Main Activities
Mountains
A mountain is a large landform that rises high above the surrounding land. It has steep sides, and sharp or a round top. Some mountains are barren while trees cover others. High mountain peaks are covered by snow. Jomo Lhari, Jichu Drake and Gangkar Puensum are some examples of mountains. Mountains are useful as they protect from cold winds. In Bhutan, some mountains are worshipped as deities.
Plains
A plain is a large area of flat land. Plains are found along valleys and at the foothills in Bhutan. They are generally fertile and good for agriculture. Plains are found in some parts of Chhukha, Samtse, Samdrup Jongkhar and Sarpang Dzongkhags.
Plateaus
A plateau is a flat top highland with steep sides. It looks like a table and is also called as a tableland. Tendruk in Samtse and Mem Ralang in Trashigang are examples of plateaus. Some plateaus have fertile soil to grow crops.
Valleys
A valley is a low lying area between two mountains or hills. A valley has steep or gentle sides. Generally, a stream or a river may flow through the valley. It may be U-shaped or V-shaped. People live and grow crops in the valleys. Bumthang and Paro are examples of U-shaped valleys, while Trongsa and Trashigang are examples of V-shaped valleys.
