Planning Toolkit

Winter ( December - February)

Bhutan's coldest months are December, January, and February. In Paro, Bumthang, and Thimphu, temperatures can drop to 0 degrees.

Autumn ( September - November)

The fall is once again the country's busiest season, with tourists travelling in great numbers to experience the valley's chilly, moderate environment and see the lower Himalayas change into white slopes as winter approaches.

Rainy Season (June - August)

The southwest monsoon season runs from June to August, and occasionally into early September. In the valleys, temperatures range from 24 to 25 degrees.

Spring (March - May)

Bhutan's magnificent spring season, which runs from March to May, is considered the peak season. With temperatures hovering around 16 degrees, the weather is comfortable and enjoyable.

World's only carbon negative country

Bhutan is the world's only carbon negative country, meaning it absorbs more carbon dioxide than it emits.

Highest Unclimbed Peak in the world

The tallest mountain in Bhutan, Gangkhar Puensum, has never been conquered. It is situated at a height of 7570 metres.

No Smoking in public places

Now for a beneficial Bhutan fact. In Bhutan, smoking and the use of tobacco products are illegal in public venues such as cinemas, restaurants, and streets.

National Sport Archery

In many Bhutanese myths and stories, bows and arrows play an important role. Bhutan has an Olympic archery squad as well.

By Car

Driving in Bhutan is not recommended because the roads are tiny, twisting, and include hairpin curves that can be rather frightening, regardless of how good a driver you are.

By Bus

Bhutan's local buses are also used for local transportation, but they are not the best mode of transportation in Bhutan.

By Taxi

Taxis are the greatest way to go about Bhutan because they are plentiful in Phuentsholing, Thimphu, and Paro. Taxis do have metres, but they aren't used nearly enough.

By Air

Bhutan has a limited number of domestic air travel choices. While Druk Air operates domestic flights from Paro to Bathpalathang, air travel is not one of the primary modes of transportation in the area.
