The Best Time to Visit Bhutan
Bhutan has four distinct seasons, and each season has its beauty and charm. Bhutan is a year-round destination to visit. So, it is entirely up to you to decide your travel time to visit Bhu-tan. Find some information about the seasons and their features.
Spring Season (March, April & May)
The Spring season of Bhutan is a botanist's delight as various flowers start to bloom. And, plants start budding after their long dormancy in the winter season. Flowers such as rhodo-dendron, wild azaleas, and edelweiss cover the meadows like carpet and add a new sense of wonder to Bhutan's landscape. The Spring season is one of the best times to visit Bhutan.
Summer Season (June, July & August)
Summer Season 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 rivers, and pine cones glisten in the sun. However, it rains in the summer season. So, only a few people visit Bhutan in the Summer season.
Autumn Season (September, October & November)
The Autumn season is the time when the entire landscape turns into golden colour. The farm-ers harvest their crops in the golden-coloured paddy fields under the crisp blue skies, which offers an amazing view of Bhutan's landscape in the autumn season. So, autumn is another best time to visit Bhutan.
Winter Season (December, January & February)
The days are full of sunshine, and evenings can turn chilly in the winter season. Soft turfs of clouds drape lazily over mountain tops as if waiting for new life to blow it across the land-scape.
The winter season in Bhutan gives one a clear view of the world's highest Himalayan Moun-tain ranges covered in snow. However, only a few travel to Bhutan in winter cause of chilly and cold weather conditions. You can still visit Bhutan in winter, and it is recommended.
