Best time to visit

The best time to visit Bhutan depends on what you want to see and do during your trip.

  • Spring (March to May) is the best time to visit Bhutan if you’re interested in seeing the colorful rhododendron flowers that bloom in the country’s forests. Additionally, temperatures are mild and the skies are clear, making it a great time for trekking and hiking.
  • Summer (June to August) is the monsoon season in Bhutan, which means that it can be quite rainy and humid. However, it’s also the best time to see the country’s lush green landscape.
  • Autumn (September to November) is another great time to visit Bhutan. The weather is clear, and the skies are blue, making it a great time for outdoor activities such as trekking, hiking, and sightseeing. Additionally, it is a good time to experience the Tshechus (Festival) in the western region of Bhutan.
  • Winter (December to February) is the coldest time of the year in Bhutan. Temperatures can drop below freezing in the higher elevations, and snowfall is common. However, if you’re interested in seeing Bhutan’s snow-capped mountains, it can be a great time to visit.
