When is the best time to visit Bhutan?

The climate and seasons of Bhutan has its own beauty and charm. Bhutan is a year-round destination. So, it is entirely up to you to decide your travel period based on the seasons of your choice and suitability. Bhutan has four distinct seasons characterized by its own features.

• Spring (March, April & May)

Spring is a botanist’s delight as various flowers start to bloom. Plants start budding after their long dormancy in winter. Flowers such as rhododendron, wild azaleas, and edelweiss cover the meadows like carpet and add a new sense of wonder.to the Bhutan’s landscape.

• Summer (June, July & August):

It is an abundant time of the year as flowers are in full bloom and valleys are covered in green, weeping willows sweep the banks of many of the river and pine cone glisten in the sun, so full with risen they are ready to plummet to the ground.

• Autumn (September, October & November)

This is the time when the entire landscape turns into golden color. The farmers harvesting their crops in the golden colored paddy fields under the crisp blue skies is just an amazing view of Bhutan’s landscape in the Autumn season. 

• Winter (December, January & February)

Winter has its moments. The days are full of sunshine while evenings can turn chilly. Soft turfs of clouds drape lazily over mountain tops as if waiting for new life to blow it across the landscape.  The winter season in Bhutan gives one a clear view of the world’s highest Himalayan mountain ranges covered in snow.
