Where do the Bhutia people mainly live in Bhutan?

The Bhutia people, also known as the Ngalop, are the largest ethnic group in Bhutan and are primarily concentrated in the northern, western, and central regions of the country.12

As descendants of Tibetan immigrants, they have historically established their presence in these areas, where they continue to play a dominant role in the nation's political and cultural life. While they are the majority in these central and western regions, other ethnic groups, such as the Nepalese, predominate in the southern and southwestern parts of the country.12
