Sandwiched between China and India, Bhutan boasts a tiny population (800,000 at the last census), a tiny size (38,400 square kilometres, making it one of the smallest countries in the world) and a very dangerous topography. Namely, a whole load of mountains. This region of the world is home to some of the tallest peaks in the world: Everest, K2, for example — and while most of the highest peaks are in Nepal, it still has its fair share of mountains over 7,000 ft tall.
