Often referred to as "the last Shangri-la," and it's easy to see why. The region is an episode of contrasting, jaw-dropper scenic settings; stunning natural beauty, from its lush green blankets to its snow-cloaked peaks, from its teeming capital city to its isolated yet gently sloping eastern region.

You just won't find any stoplights or neon signs disturbing the peace and tranquillity of this enchanting land. Instead, the locals practice a simple and efficient system of courteous driving, making for a stress-free and enjoyable journey for all. So why not ditch the chaos of modern-day city living?

= Excellent: Spring & Autumn are easily the best times of the year to explore Bhutan. Spring (Mar-May) brings nature lovers close to the blossoming flora & fauna with incredible panoramic vistas of the valleys. Autumn (Sep-Nov) again brings pleasant climate, stunning views & ideal conditions for trekking. It even boasts of some of the most popular local festivals (such as Thimphu Tscechu). Advisable to book in advance (especially Oct) for these periods given the low availability & higher pricing across all the valleys.
= Good: During the Winters (Dec-Feb), Bhutan is as cold as it gets in the country. Snowfall generally occurs in Jan & Feb - only 3000m and above. The lower temperatures mean lesser tourists and better pricing across the country. Still a good time for trekking in the central highlands & south of the country. Also is a very good time to catch the endangered Black-neck Crane without hoards of crowds.
= Fair: The Summer in Bhutan brings the increased temperatures & higher rainfall to the country. Yet, protected by the mighty Himalayas, rain unlike most other parts of Asia is often intermittent and limited to late nights or early mornings. Not an ideal time for birdwatching or treks, this period is rewarding for those seeking to escape the crowds with attractive deals on offer at luxury lodges.
