Seasons in Bhutan
01
Spring
(March - May)
Spring is one of the best times to visit Bhutan.
The valleys burst with blooming rhododendrons,
magnolias, and wildflowers. Temperatures are pleasant,
and the skies are generally clear. This is also the time
for several important festivals.
15°C - 25°C in valleys
02
Summer
(June - August)
The monsoon season brings rain, particularly in the
southern regions. While trekking can be challenging,
this is a great time for those seeking fewer tourists
and lush, green landscapes. Eastern Bhutan sees less
rainfall.
20°C - 30°C in valleys
03
Autumn
(September - November)
Autumn is the most popular time to visit.
Crystal-clear skies offer stunning mountain views,
and the weather is ideal for trekking. This is festival
season, with the famous Thimphu and Paro Tshechus
drawing visitors from around the world.
10°C - 20°C in valleys
04
Winter
(December - February)
Winter brings cold temperatures and occasional snow
at higher elevations. However, it's an excellent time
for bird watching, particularly black-necked cranes
in Phobjikha Valley. Fewer tourists mean a more intimate
experience.
