Bhutan comprises twenty districts (dzongkhag, both singular and plural).

District Statistics

The results of the 2005 census appear below:

On April 26, 2007 Lhamozingkha Dungkhag (subdistrict) was formally handed over from Sarpang Dzongkhag to Dagana Dzongkhag., affecting three gewog (Lhamozingkha, Deorali and Nichula (Zinchula) and the town of Lhamozingkha), which formed the westernmost part of Sarpang Dzongkhag and now form the southernmost part of Dagana Dzongkhag. This is change is not reflected in the table above. Since 2008, Bhutan has redrawn many of its other borders, both internal and international, with the result of creating a no man's land, later claimed by China, out of the Northern Basin area of Gasa District.
