Bhutan Land Plots & Thram MCP (NLCS cadastre)
Connect your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to BumiAtlas for Bhutanese land research through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
This listing is a focused entry point for:
- Bhutan's cadastral plots from the National Land Commission Secretariat (NLCS) on the NSDI portal: ~238k national plot boundaries and the attributed cadastre
- Plot lookup by plotid ("GNG-2522", "BHU-2832"), by thram (land record) number within a dzongkhag and gewog, or by coordinates
- Land type (Chhuzhing wetland, Kamzhing dryland, Residential Land, orchards such as Cardamom or Oranges), land class, ownership type (family, individual, government, religious, community, state land), Rural/Urban and the recorded area in acres
- State land surrendered to the government or on lease, and National Housing Development Corporation (NHDCL) plots
- Satellite and street map images of a plot and its neighbours, labelled by plotid
The attributed cadastre is loaded for 6 of 20 dzongkhags so far (Sarpang, Gelephu, Dagana, Tsirang, Trongsa, Zhemgang); elsewhere a plot has its boundary and area only.
