Bhutan -When is the best time to go?

No matter what time of year Bhutan will provide you with a rewarding and enriching experience.

Early-mid summer period June to July. You may experience occasional heavy falls of rain during the afternoons, however to see Bhutan so green and full of clear streams and waterfalls is worth it. While you may not experience grand Himalayan vistas at this time, you will enjoy the warmer weather and a noticeable reduction in tourist numbers. It is a beautiful time to visit!

Bhutan has four distinct seasons. The spring season (late March, April & May) and autumn season (late September, October & November) are the most popular times to visit with generally clear, mild weather, excellent scenery, lower rainfall and a range of festivals called Tshechus and Dromchoes.

The winter season (December to mid March) brings snow to the higher regions however the southern regions and main valleys where visitors generally travel are considerably warmer. Paro and Thimphu normally experience only light dusting’s of snow so still well worth a visit with mid December to mid-January normally offering cool, pleasant days and clear skies although temperatures fall below zero at night. A great time for photography and valley hiking plus the opportunity for wonderful Himalayan vistas form the higher passes.www.bhutanbesttravel.com
