The best time to visit Bhutan is during the spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November). The weather is pleasant, with clear skies ideal for viewing the Himalayan peaks. Several colourful festivals also take place during these months.

Getting from the airport to Bhutan

Things to do in Bhutan

Visit the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang), clinging to a cliffside. Explore Punakha Dzong, a stunning fortress at the junction of two rivers. Experience the local culture at a traditional Bhutanese farmhouse. Take a hike in the Haa Valley for pristine natural beauty.

Food to try

Try Ema Datshi, the national dish made with chillies and cheese. Sample Momos (dumplings) filled with meat or vegetables. Suja, the traditional butter tea, is an acquired taste but worth trying.

Local tips

Bhutan follows a policy of 'High Value, Low Impact' tourism, so expect a daily tariff. Dress respectfully when visiting monasteries and religious sites, covering shoulders and legs. Bargaining is not customary in Bhutan.
