🌸 Best Time to Join This 5-Day Bhutan Group Tour (Dec 2025 – Mar 2026)

Winter Season (December to February):
Perfect weather for this short cultural tour! Days are sunny and pleasant (12–18°C in Paro/Thimphu/Punakha), skies are crystal clear for Himalayan views, and the Tiger’s Nest hike is much easier with cool temperatures. Very few tourists = peaceful monasteries and no crowds anywhere.

Early Spring (March):
Still excellent — temperatures start rising slightly, rhododendrons begin blooming in Punakha & Paro valleys, and you get the best of both winter clarity and spring colors. Ideal for photography and comfortable sightseeing.

Why Dec–Mar is actually fantastic for this 5-day tour:
✓ Clear views of snow-capped Himalayas from Dochula Pass
✓ Cool & comfortable for the Tiger’s Nest hike (no sweating!)
✓ Fewer tourists = more personal experience
✓ All attractions & trails fully open
✓ Lower chance of flight delays than monsoon
