Best Time to Visit Bhutan

The Discover Bhutan Tour is highly recommended to visit during the spring and autumn seasons (March to May and September to November). These months offer the most favorable weather for discovering cultural experiences and enjoying Bhutan’s beauty of nature. Bhutan comes alive with blooming rhododendrons, lush green hills, and clear mountain views in the spring season. The pleasant temperatures and vibrant landscapes make this season ideal for exploring monasteries and traditional villages. Autumn is also the best time to visit with clear skies and scenic mountain views. You will enjoy the major festivals like the Thimphu Tsechu and Wangdue Phodrang Tsechu, offering travelers an immersive experience of local culture and spirituality.

We provide all deluxe rooms with comfortable three-star hotels on a twin-sharing basis at Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro for our visitors.

About the meals, during your Discover Bhutan Tour, will be provided typical Bhutanese food as well as familiar continental meals. In Thimphu and Paro, ema datshi, jasha maru, and red rice are all served at really cozy local establishments.
