Panbang

Panbang is a settlement in the south of Bhutan. It is located in Zhemgang District, close to the border with India.

Panbang is a small town in Bhutan under Zhemgang Dzongkhag (District). It is located 13 kilometers from the Indian border. There is no road that connects Panbang to other parts of Bhutan except the rough road that leads to Royal Manas National Park. In order to travel to bordering places like Gelephu, Phuentsholing, Samdrup Jongkhar and Nganglam they have to use the road via India where people often get stranded on the way due to unexpected strike, thus, posing risk to the travelers. Panbang serves as a main shopping area to the people of four gewogs (blocks) under Panbang Dungkhag (Sub-divisional Officer). thumb|300px|Twin falls at Panbang Nowadays Panbang is equipped with the modern amenities.
