It is located 13 kilometers from the Indian border. There is no road that connects Panbang to other parts of Bhutan except the rough road that leads to Royal Manas National Park. In order to travel to bordering places like Gelephu, Phuentsholing, Samdrup Jongkhar and Nganglam they have to use the road via India where people often get stranded on the way due to unexpected strike, thus, posing risk to the travelers. Panbang serves as a main shopping area to the people of four gewogs under Panbang Dungkhag. Nowadays Panbang is equipped with the modern amenities. With the increasing number of school dropped outs, Panbang is seeing young and hardworking entrepreneurs coming out with various ideas like organic farming, rafting company, chicken farming, piggery, fishery etc. First school was established in 1979 as Primary school and now upgraded to Lower Secondary school. In the year 2009 Middle Secondary was established in Thinleygang. In the year 2009, mobile service became functional in the area though people were using telephone facilities.
