   Bhutan's early history is steeped in mythology and remains obscure. Some of the structures provide evidence that the region has been settled as early as 2000 BC. According to a legend it was ruled by a Cooch-Behar king, Sangaldip, around the 7th century BC, but not much is known prior
• When did Buddhism start in Bhutan?
  It is believed that Buddhism set foot in Bhutan in about the 7th century by a Tibetian ruler known as Songtsan Gampo. 747 A.D. marks the visit of one of the most important figures shaping the culture of Bhutan. Popularly called as Guru Rimpoche (Guru Padma Sambhava) is considered as honourable as Buddha himself.
