When is the best time to visit Bhutan?
Bhutan has a season for everyone. The kingdom stretches across all climatic zones; from the sub-tropical jungles in the south, to the moderate heights of 2000-2500 meters in the center and up to the alpine world of the towering Himalayas and glaciers of the north.
1. Spring (March, April & May)
Spring is a botanist’s delight as rhododendrons, wild azaleas, and masses of wildflowers including the edelweiss cover the meadows like carpet. Pear and apple blossoms add a dainty touch to the valleys as their pink and white blooms add a sense of new wonder to the land that is about to burst with abundant growth again.
2. Summer (June, July & August):
Summer is an abundant time of the year as flowers are in bloom and valleys are covered in green, weeping willows sweeps the banks of many of the rivers and the pine cone glisten in the sun, so full with rasin they are ready to plummet to the ground.
3. Autumn (September, October & November)
Autumn casts a bright golden glow on the vast landscape and is one of the most crowed time of the year for tourism in Bhutan. The rice fields ripen to a golden brown under crisp blue skies. The merry pink and white of cosmos flowers dot the countryside. Temperatures in the central valleys do not normally exceed 30degree Celsius in the summers and in the winters around 15 degrees Celsius during the day.
4. Winter (December, January & February)
Winter has its moments. The days are full of sunshine while the evenings can turn chilly. The winter landscapes lay bare the majesty of the mountains and the sweeping valleys. Soft turtfs of cloud drape lazily over mountains tops as if waiting for new life to blow it across the landscape.
