When to visit

The best time to visit Bhutan is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons when the weather is pleasant and the skies are clear. These seasons offer ideal conditions for exploring the country's natural beauty and participating in various festivals.

Getting around

Getting around Bhutan is primarily done by road. The country has a well-maintained network of roads that connect major towns and cities. Taxis and buses are available for intercity travel. For shorter distances within towns, walking is a popular option. It is also possible to hire a car with a driver for more convenience.

Traveller tips

Respect the local customs and traditions, such as dressing modestly and removing your shoes before entering religious sites. Carry a good pair of walking shoes as Bhutan offers numerous hiking and trekking opportunities. Stay hydrated and carry a water bottle with you, especially during outdoor activities. Pack warm clothing, as the weather can get chilly, especially in higher altitude areas. Try the local cuisine, which includes dishes like Ema Datshi (chili and cheese stew) and Momos (dumplings). Engage with the locals and learn about their way of life to truly experience the Bhutanese culture.
