If you prefer, you can leave these places and look for other activities. The principal places on this tour are the various Zhong, choirs, viewpoints, monasteries, temples, museums and wildlife that showcase Bhutan's art, architecture, crafts, history and culture.

Bhutan is different from modernization and globalization, and you will see that people's lifestyles are different here than in other places. Since there are no large factories and industries, it is entirely free of contaminants. They traditionally built small houses, farms, schools, monasteries and temples that fit perfectly with nature. If you spend several days in Bhutan, you have a different understanding of life and can grow spiritually.

Essential Information

When is the best travel time for Bhutan?

The best time to visit Bhutan is from October to December as the air and sky are bright and sunny. January and February are colder, but from then until April, the local climate remains dry of high quality. In late spring, the beautiful rhododendrons flower bloom spectacularly and flood the valleys with beautiful colours. The heat and humidity intensify from May to September, and the monsoon rain covers the mountains at this time. If you would like to see the unusual black-necked cranes, we recommend travelling through the Phobjikha Valley between late October and mid-February.

FAQs

Bhutan is a mysterious kingdom with a pure natural environment and a well-preserved traditional culture that represents the precious treasures of Bhutan and makes it the last Shangri-La in the world. Since Bhutan is a traditional and environmentally friendly country, it is very important to protect the treasures from damage. Therefore, independence is not allowed in Bhutan, and the services of a licensed travel agency, including the local guide, a private car and service must be used.

One Of Best Trip : Bhutan Tour Review

We did an 8 night 9 day tour of Bhutan for 10 people, including Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Bumthang, and Gangtey. Kishor, the manager of Nepal Tour & Trekking Service P. Ltd was excellent. Before the trip, he was always very attentive to all our questions. All the preparations were perfect. During the trip, we had flight problems related to the weather, and Kishor was very flexible in finding an alternative solution for us. I travelled around the world a lot, but Kishor was the best I knew. He also planned a separate trip to Tibet just for me, and it went well. I would recommend using this agency for any trip you plan to make to Nepal, Bhutan, or Tibet.
