Best Time To Visit Bhutan | Bhutan Tourism

Although we visited Bhutan during the month of June, that is not exactly the best time to visit Bhutan. During our visit we realized the primary reasons as to why June might not be the correct time to visit Bhutan.

To start with, there might be occasional rain fall that might blunder your travel. Most of the cities that we traveled ranging from Paro, Thimput to Punakha, we encountered rain for sure.

The other main issue is that there are multiple holidays during this period in Bhutan. Birth Anniversary of Guru Rinpoche is in the month of June. Not further away is the occasion for the First Sermon of Lord Buddha. Thus, you will find most government run tourist spots closed down during these days. And more importantly, you might not get permit to get to Punakha because the immigration offices are also closed during this dates. 

Rather, October to December is the ideal time to visit Bhutan from a climate perspective. Although there are multiple holidays during this time period as well, ranging from "The Descending Day of Lord Buddha" to "National Day", the climate is just stunning during this time period. We would always recommend that you call up the hotels and look up the Bhutan Tourism website to properly plan your trip. You can always ask us here in the comments section as well. Happy journey!
