Chhoekhor ( Dzongkha : ཆོས་ འཁོར་ ) is one of four Gewogs (blocks) of the Dzongkhags Bumthang in central Bhutan . Chhoekhor Gewog is in turn divided into five Chiwogs (constituencies). The Gewog extends over altitudes between 2600 and 5800 m .
According to the 2005 census, 4553 people live in this area in an area of 1649 km². More recent estimates assume 8756 people living in 39 (according to the electoral commission count 31) villages or hamlets in around 661 households. This population includes the population of Jakar , the capital of the Bumthang district.
There are a total of seven schools in the Gewog, five of which are elementary schools and two are secondary schools, the Wangdicholing Lower Secondary School and the Jakar Higher Secondary School . There are four counseling centers and five community health workers ( village health workers ) for medical care .
