Are Nepal and Bhutan both landlocked countries?

Golden Shrestha Published June 19, 2024

 

Nepal and Bhutan are both landlocked Himalayan countries, nestled between two powerful neighbors: India and China. Let’s delve into some details:
 

1. Bhutan:

  • Bhutan is a small kingdom located in the eastern Himalayas.
  • It shares borders with India to the south and China (Tibet) to the north.
  • Bhutan’s only access to the outside world is through India, specifically the Indian state of Sikkim.
  • Being landlocked means that Bhutan lacks direct access to the sea.
     

2. Nepal:

  • Nepal lies to the west of Bhutan and is also a landlocked nation.
  • It is sandwiched between India to the south and China (Tibet) to the north.
  • Nepal’s geography is characterized by rugged mountains, including the iconic Mount Everest.
  • Like Bhutan, Nepal does not have a coastline or direct access to the ocean.
  •  

Both countries have faced unique challenges due to their landlocked status. However, they continue to engage with their neighbors and the international community to overcome these limitations.
