Best time to be there

Bhutan offers warm days and cool nights all year round. October and November are arguably the best months, when the monsoon has passed and the skies are clear for mountain photography. The spring months of March, April and May are best for the flora, but it can be stormy as the monsoon builds up for July-September.

Thimphu

Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, lies in a beautiful, wooded valley, sprawling up a hillside on the bank of the Thimphu Chhu River. It is the only world capital without traffic lights.
