DESCRIPTION
Urbanisation is still at a nascent stage in the eastern himalayan region of Bhutan, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim and the hills of darjeeling in West bengal. In the Indian portionof the eastern himalayas the history of the growth of towns does not go back beyond the late 19th century while urban centres emerged in Bhutan only in the 1960s. Most of the hill urban centres that have subsequently emerged are small-with population even less tha a 1000 in some cases.
