UPSSSC PET 2026 Question Paper (25-Oct-2026) (Shift-2)
The correct answer is
Bhutan
Bhutan is a small Himalayan kingdom lying between India and China. In its own language, Dzongkha, the country is called Druk Yul, which means the “Land of the Thunder Dragon”.
The name comes from the violent thunderstorms that roll down from the high Himalaya, which were believed to be the voice of a dragon. The thunder dragon (Druk) also appears on the national flag of Bhutan.
Nepal is known for Mount Everest, Myanmar is called the “Land of Golden Pagodas” and Bangladesh is a river delta nation, so none of them carries this title.
Hence, Bhutan.
