When to Trek

The most appropriate trekking times in Bhutan are mid-March to mid-May and mid-September to the beginning of November. There are however also trekking routes that are better suited to Summer or Winter. Earlier in the year the light is sharper but the nights are very cold. In autumn, after the rainy season, the skies clear and the leaves begin to turn yellow. Between mid-June and mid-September one should expect regular rainfall. At altitudes beneath 2000 meters leaches can be a challenge. To find the possible and best times for each single trekking route please see the table of trekking routes and the detailed descriptions.
