Punakha Province (Dzongkha: སྤུ་ན་ཁ་; Wylie: spu-na-kha) was one of the nine historical Provinces of Bhutan.[1]
Punakha Province occupied lands in western Bhutan, corresponding roughly to modern Punakha District. It was administered from the Punakha Dzong in the town of Punakha, and the ruling governor was known as the Penlop of Punakha, or Punab. However by the 19th century, effective power over Punakha Province was held by the pro-British Penlop of Trongsa.[1][2][3]
