Best Time to Travel Bhutan

Bhutan, commonly known as 'The Land of the Thunder Dragon,' is mystically constructed and has set within its abode a spiritual environment that fills a treasure chest of unlimited natural beauty. Mighty mountains, deep valleys, and rich cultures will imprint on the minds of even those who come searching for meaning or aspiration. 

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best times to visit Bhutan since one is rewarded with colors and blossoms at this time, whilst the weather remains very pleasant and cool, allowing participation in many deep cultural and colorful festivals, like Paro Tsechu and Jambay Lhakhang Drup. Visibility of clear skies, scenic views of the Himalayas, almost the best trekking conditions, and the sight of cultural heritage in Bhutan.

For those who seek peace at affordable prices, this is the time for some therapeutic holidays in the light winters. Whereas the high altitudes become cold, low hills like Punakha and Paro are generally warm and easily accessible. It is a time when the Tiger's Nest Monastery or Punakha Dzong can be visited without a throng. On the other hand, summer (June to August) is the season of the monsoon when the rain goes on pouring ever-increasingly and nourishes Bhutan's green scenery. Although most of the trekking routes become impassable, the landscape with its vibrant colors fully pays off in the effort for nature lovers and photographers to get a fair amount of rainy scenes in search of peace among greenery.

Bhutan is that destination that can be visited in all seasons, although March to May and September to November are considered the best months for festivals, trekking, and culture. Spiritual calmness, great high-altitude adventure, or deep cultural connections, this beautiful country has something to offer during any season.
