Bhutan’s energy push: Bhutan and the World Bank have signed a USD 515m financing deal for the Dorjilung Hydroelectric Power Project, a 1,125MW scheme expected to supply about a third of the country’s electricity and ease winter shortages while boosting summer exports to India. Health watch: As monsoon nears, Bhutan’s health authorities are stepping up malaria prevention in southern border dzongkhags after 144 cases in 2024, driven by outbreaks in India’s Assam and West Bengal. Tourism momentum: The Bhutan International Travel Mart is set for 11–13 June 2026 in Thimphu to connect tour operators, hotels, airlines and luxury specialists under a “high-value, low-volume” push. Culture on the move: In Sakteng, the Great Yeti Quest festival is drawing crowds with Brokpa folklore and eco-tourism plans—while Tshechu season continues to spotlight Bhutan’s masked dances and Guru Rinpoche celebrations. Community resilience: After the Changzamtog fire, residents are still recounting how quickly homes were lost and rebuilding begins.
