Best time to visit Bhutan

Bhutan can be visited year-round, but based on the ideal climate conditions, cost of travel, and avoiding peak holiday periods, March-May is the best time to go.

In the summer months, temperatures can reach as high as 22℃ (72℉) in Thimphu, Bhutan. In the colder months such as January, temperatures usually get down to an average minimum of -3℃ (27℉). Temperatures often differ in other areas of Bhutan though so you can find out more information about this below.

If you want to get the most out of your time visiting Bhutan, or you’re just afraid of the dark, the days in May are usually the longest between sunrise and sunset. You don’t want to get wet on your holiday, do you? Well if you’re trying to avoid the rain, then steer clear of Bhutan in July. Head there in December instead if you want to increase your chances of not being rained on.
