Bumthang

Bumthang's ideal time to visit depends on what you seek in your Bhutanese adventure:

• Pleasant weather and outdoor activities (April-June): Spring paints Bumthang in vibrant hues with blooming rhododendrons. The comfortable temperatures (average highs around 32°C) make it perfect for trekking, sightseeing, and exploring the natural beauty. However, occasional rain showers are possible in May.

• Cultural immersion and festivals (September-November): Autumn offers clear skies and comfortable temperatures (average highs around 21°C) ideal for exploring monasteries and soaking in the cultural tapestry. Several festivals like Jambey Lhakhang Drup, Prakhat Tsechu, and Thangbi Mani take place during this time, allowing you to witness Bhutanese traditions in full swing.

• Dry season with cooler temperatures (December-February): Winter transforms Bumthang into a wonderland with clear skies and crisp air (average highs around 10°C). This dry season offers excellent visibility for sightseeing, but nights can be quite chilly. Pack warm clothes if you visit during this time.
