Bhutan Tourism

What is the best time to travel to Bhutan? While many guidebooks will recommend making your reservations for the fall or spring months, more and more “in the know” Bhutanese travelers prefer to travel during the wet summer months or the cold winter months. These exotic vacationers reason that during the off season, fewer western tourists show up, and the privacy and serenity allows them to enjoy and get to know Bhutanese culture in a more natural context.

Another myth which pervades Bhutanese tourism literature is the notion that the monastic festivals held in places like Paro and Thimphu are by and large the biggest tourist draws the country offers. While these festivals are certainly exciting, unique, and culturally edifying, Bhutan offers lush landscapes, precipitous mountains (including some of the highest unclimbed peaks in the world), forest, and even subtropical regions.

One interesting way to tour Bhutan is to take Footloose Bhutan’s bird-watching tour. In the western regions, look for warblers, forest birds, and water birds by the river along Thimphu. Two hours away at Punakha, go birding 3,000 meters up near the Dochula Pass. Travel to Bhutan in the beginning of March, and you may catch a glimpse of cranes migrating over Gangtey Gonpa!
