Lhuntse District
Lhuentse District (Dzongkha: ལྷུན་རྩེ་རྫོང་ཁག།; Wylie: Lhun-rtse rdzong-khag; previously "Lhuntshi", and officially spelled Lhuentse ) is one of the 20 dzongkhag (districts) in Bhutan. It consists of 2506 households. Located in the northeast, Lhuentse is one of the least developed dzhongkhags of Bhutan. There are few roads, the first gas station was opened in September 2005, electricity is not well distributed, and the difficult terrain makes distribution of social welfare problematic. Despite its favorable climate, farming is hindered by the lack of infrastructure.
