Best Time to Visit Bhutan

• Spring (March to May): This is the peak season for trekking and sightseeing. The weather is mild, with clear skies, and the landscape is lush and green, especially with the blooming rhododendrons and other wildflowers. It’s also a great time to witness festivals like the Paro Tsechu.
• Autumn (September to November): The weather is crisp and clear, with stunning visibility of the Himalayan peaks. This is ideal for outdoor activities like trekking and exploring Bhutan’s beautiful valleys. The autumn months also coincide with several cultural festivals, making it a vibrant time to experience Bhutanese culture.
• While winter (December to February) is quieter and serene, it can be quite cold, especially in the mountain’s areas.
• Summer (June to August) is the monsoon season, so rainfall can be heavy, making travel more challenging in some areas. However, Bhutan can be visited year-round.
