While considered a year-round destination, owing to the country’s four distinct seasons and varying climates, the best time to visit Bhutan wholly depends on your travel interests with each season, and region, offering something special. Spring, from March to May, is recognised as one of the best times to visit as it is not as cold as winter, from December to February, nor as wet and humid as summer, from June to mid-September. In addition to the weather, a major factor in choosing when to visit is Bhutan’s colourful festival calendar.
