When is the best time to visit Bhutan?

The best time to visit Bhutan largely depends on your preferences and the activities you wish to engage in. However, the popular tourist seasons are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when the weather is generally pleasant and the skies are clear. These seasons offer great opportunities for outdoor activities, trekking, and witnessing Bhutan's vibrant festivals.

The Paro Tshechu, a lively masked dance festival, takes place in Paro in March or April. If you're in Bhutan in September or October, you can experience the Thimphu Tshechu, a grand festival held in the capital city. Another notable festival is the Punakha Tshechu, celebrated in February or March in the Punakha region. These festivals offer a unique opportunity to witness Bhutan's rich traditions and colorful celebrations.

Winter (December to February) can be cold, especially in higher elevations, but it offers stunning views of snow-capped mountains. The monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy rainfall, but it can still be a good time to visit for lower tourist numbers and lush green landscapes. Ultimately, the best time to visit Bhutan depends on your personal preferences and the specific experiences you are seeking.

Private tour to Bhutan

We are Austrians and contacted AOT for a tour to Bhutan. The itinerary was was interesting and all was planed well. Our highlights were the festival in Paro and the walk to the tiger nest. Our guide Mrs. Cheni gave us a good overview about Bhutan`s culture and tradition. During our tour the Prime Minister of India also made a visit to Bhutan and for two day the roads were blocked from 9:00 to 11:00am. In order to reach the festival of Paro before the road blockage Mrs. Cheni organized this trip for 6:00am. We were very satisfied with this tour and will recommend to our Austrian friends the company AOT and the guide Mrs. Cheni.

We had the pleasure of booking our Bhutan adventure with Asia odyssey travel and it was an experience we’ll never forget. It all started with Kyle, who promptly responded to our inquiry for a quotation to Bhutan. Despite our last minute request and the urgency of our travel dates, Kyle was quick to provide us with the necessary details. However, due to a hiccup during the payment process through WISE, it took about 15 days for the payment to reach Kyle. Throughout this period, Kyle was incredibly patient and kept us updated on the progress of the payment. His professionalism in handling the situation and assisting us with arranging the required documents, such as insurance coverage and e-visa, was truly commendable.
Upon our arrival in Bhutan, we were warmly welcomed by our tour guide, Mr Bhim and our driver, Mr wangchuk. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in good hand. They formed a perfect team, seamlessly working together to ensure our trip was nothing short of amazing. One of the highlight was when they went above and beyond to accommodate our request to visit certain areas not initially in the itinerary.
A true testament to their dedication was when Mr Bhim informed us the night before that certain highway and places of interest would be closed the next day due to the state VIP guests. He promptly picked us up at 6:30am to ensure we avoided any inconvenience. Had we waited until 7am, we would have been stuck at the hotel due to State VIP arrangements. Both Mr Bhim and Mr wangchuk made sure our journey started early and ended at 5pm, maximising our time and experience in Thimphu.
Throughout our trip, both Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk went out of their way to make us comfortable. They helped carry our belongings, provided us with umbrella during unpredictable weather, and shared they’d vast knowledge of Bhutanese Buddhism and culture.
A standout moment was trekking to tiger nest, where both Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk accompanied us, sharing stories and insight about the place. It was an enriching experience that made the trek even more memorable.
Overall, our journey with Asia odyssey travel was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the professionalism, dedication and care of Mr Kyle, Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk. That turned what could have been challenging situation into seamless experience, ensuring we had the best time exploring the beautiful country of Bhutan. We highly recommend Asia odyssey travel for anyone looking to embark on an unforgettable adventure in Bhutan.
Thank you, Kyle, Bhim and Wangchuk for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
