Your Journey, Step by Step

Best Seasons for 4N/5D days Bhutan Tour

For a better experience, the tour also depends on which season you decide to visit. As the Bhutan tour is suitable for all types of seasons, which are Spring, Autumn, Winter, and Summer, you can choose any of these seasons to travel. But mainly the spring, which falls from March to May and the autumn, which falls from September to November, are the most popular seasons to travel to Bhutan. But it might also depend on the travelers’ preferences.

Most people like to visit Bhutan during the spring as it enhances the lush landscapes, offering the blooms of rhododendrons, magnolias and other alpine flowers. The temperature and weather conditions vary with altitude, but overall, Bhutan has a pleasant Himalayan climate. The spring months (March to May) are reasonably mild (between 10°C to 20°C), which is great for sightseeing, hiking, and seeing flowers blooming.

You will find the mountains, valleys and forests are even more breathtakingly beautiful during this time, which has captured the hearts of many tourists. You will also get a chance to engage in outdoor activities and sightseeing because of the stable weather and clear skies. If you are fond of festivals, this might be your chance to experience festivals like Paro Tshechu in Bhutan. These cultural gatherings offer a profound understanding of Bhutanese customs and religion.

Another season is definitely autumn, which lies on month September to November, as it provides warm daytime temperatures and cooler evenings. It is another excellent time to visit Bhutan, with daytime temperatures between 12°C and 22 °C, many clear days to see great vistas of the Himalayas, and plenty of room outside of the summer months to explore the country’s natural beauty. You will get the clearest skies and the most breathtaking views of the Himalayas during this season. You will also see fresh produce, terraced landscapes and lush rice fields.

You can also go on a Bhutan tour in winter, which is around the months of December to February and summer, which is around the months of June to August. The monsoon season or summer (June to August) is well-known for plentiful rain. The temperatures can range from 15°C to 25°C. It increases the amount and density of the lush, green forests, hills, mountains, and fields, and has fewer visitors compared to the spring and autumn months. Therefore, travel may affect those travelers during their travels.

The winter season (December to February) is generally the coldest time of year in Bhutan, particularly in the higher elevations. The daytime temperatures will generally be between–2°C and 10°C.

The food can be quite spicy, but you will definitely get a chance to experience the fascinating textures and tastes, which is quite enjoyable.

The popular dishes in Bhutan are mainly Ema Datshi (Bhutan’s national dish), Phaksha Paa (traditional food), Momos, Red Rice (a staple food in Bhutan), Suja (traditional Bhutanese butter tea), Jasha Maru ( chicken dish), and Khurma (fried snack). These foods are deeply connected to the heritage of Bhutan and give you a quick tour of the past Bhutanese lifestyle.

Typical meals will be inexpensive and made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and many hotels and restaurants will provide meals as part of their tour packages. The average expenditure on food varies greatly, ranging from $5 to $15 per person based on where you eat, whether it be a local shop or a high-end restaurant. Bhutanese cuisine is easily accessible & provides local, continental, & Chinese dishes to all tourists.

There’s a plentiful source of drinking water in hotels and towns. Bottled water typically costs about $0.50 to $1, while filtered & boiled water is often available at hotels for their guests. To encourage eco-friendly tourism, travelers are encouraged to carry a reusable water bottle and refill it at the refill stations provided by hotels & lodges.

The hotels in Bhutan offer various types of drinks. Suja, or butter tea, is a savory beverage brewed with tea, yak butter, and salt that is typically drunk in frigid climates, chhaang (traditionally used at festivals, this mildly alcoholic beverage is derived from fermented barley and is comparable to beer), ara (A stronger distilled alcoholic beverage), fruit Juices of Mango, pineapple, apple, and other local fruits are used to make these fresh, homemade juices, tea, soft drinks like Sprite and Coca-Cola etc all are available in the hotel.

While trekking, you can find various streams and rivers along the way. You can also purchase bottled water, but as it is not environmentally friendly, it is not highly recommended during a trek in Bhutan.

Even if these stays are simple, but are still efficient and managed by friendly local families to give you the proper taste of the Bhutan lifestyle.

There are numerous accommodations available to suit everyone’s needs in Bhutan, from budget to luxury hotels. Three-star hotels provide clean accommodations and basic amenities and are very hospitable to their guests at a price of around USD 40–70 per night.

Four-Star hotels provide more comfort, improved views, additional amenities such as heating, Wi-Fi, and higher-quality food, and range in price from USD 80 to 150 per night.
