Who discovered Bhutan?

Bhutan was not "discovered" in the conventional sense, as it has been inhabited for thousands of years. However, it was first brought to the attention of the Western world in the 18th century through the accounts of explorers and missionaries. The British explorer and surveyor, John Claude White, is often credited with introducing Bhutan to the West in the late 19th century. The country has a rich history and culture that predates these encounters, deeply rooted in its own traditions and governance.
