Best Time to Visit Bhutan
Bhutan is located deep in the Himalayas, and if there is one thing to be…
Bhutan, or the Kingdom of Bhutan to give it its full title, is located on the ancient trade route known as the Silk Road and is explored deeply on our Bhutan tours. The government of Bhutan embodies a philosophy known as 'Gross National Happiness', and we feel as though we need not say any more about what you should expect from the people of this stunning country. From the impressive vistas of the Himalayas to the sacred cliffside Tiger's Nest, you'll be amazed at the equally profound landscapes and culture of Bhutan. Embark on an adventure of a lifetime and learn a bit about yourself and the generous traditions of Buddhism along the way.
Check out our incredible adventures exploring the highlights and hidden gems of the Himalayas!
Activity Level 1
Suitable for most fitness levels, our Level 1 adventures are the perfect introduction to adventure travel.
You'll typically experience two half day activities per day, done at an easygoing pace.
Activity Level 2
Hikes on our Level 2 adventures are considered easy to moderate in difficulty.
Those who enjoy half-day hikes with enough elevation gain to elevate their heart rate will enjoy these adventures.
Activity Level 3
Those who take on our Level 3 tours are looking for more challenging hikes that will raise their heart rate.
While not our most strenuous trips, you'll definitely feel accomplished after a day on the trails. A solid base of fitness is advised.
Activity Level 4
Be prepared for some serious physical activity on our Level 4 trips. The fitter you are, the more you'll enjoy it, as most hikes will be challenging.
Hikes may include rock scrambling, river crossings, and off trail adventures.
Activity Level 5
On our Level 5 trips get ready to conquer back-to-back days of long hikes or summitting peaks at altitude.
We require a high level of fitness as adventurers will be met with plenty of challenges and sometimes extreme conditions.
The best time to visit Bhutan depends of what you want to do - but Spring (March to May) is an ideal season for trekking in Bhutan with stable conditions and a warmer climate. It's a beautiful time to visit Bhutan, which is why it can be popular. It’s great for rafting and kayaking and to make things even better, spring brings with it heaps of festivals - the towns are alive with vivid colors and fresh vegetation! Autumn (October to December) is also a popular season. Autumn brings clear and crisp blue skies, moderate temperatures and great photo opportunities. It is one of the busier times to visit (like Spring), but due to their philosophy of low-volume tourism, the lines are never too long.
