The next best period is December to February, the winter months. While the days are cool and dry and the nights colder, the skies remain clear, offering spectacular views of the mountains. This is also an excellent time to explore Bhutan’s lower valleys, which stay relatively mild.
July and early September are typically the wettest months. However, even this period has its unique charm. The monsoon rains bring the valleys to life, carpeting the landscape in lush greenery. It’s a time when Bhutan’s terraced rice fields flourish, and you can witness the vibrant rural life—farmers ploughing, sowing, and children playing in the fields. It’s a beautiful and serene experience for those who appreciate nature’s rhythm.
