Bhutan is genuinely an ‘all-year round destination’ and a rewarding experience can be had every month of the year. However, depending on your interests some periods may be more suitable than others.
Introduction: Nepal, India & Bhutan travel update as at 20APR22. India & Nepal are open for business.
Bhutan is 38,394 square kilometres. Think the same size as Switzerland and similarly land-locked and mountainous. Even the houses have a similarity in their shape and look.
By air is easiest from Bangkok, Singapore, Kolkata, Delhi, Bagdogra & Kathmandu. Pre COVID there was just one land entry & exit border crossing open for tourist visitors at Phuentsholing from West Bengal (India)
This varies between each valley. The lowest region in the south bordering India is around 450 m and the highest Himalaya peaks in the north, bordering China/Tibet, are over 7000 m. The main valleys traversed by the single west-east highway, in central Bhutan, range between 2300 m in western Bhutan (Paro & Thimphu); down to 1250 m in Punakha; up to 3000 m in Phobjikha (central) and around 1500 m in the eastern Bhutan region.
