Why May and June is the best time to visit Bhutan
Bhutan has grown in prominence as a travel destination in the
last decade, its natural serenity adding to its already pre-dominant stunning
bio-diversity. If you are truly looking to escape from the bustling of city
life and take a breath of fresh air, The Land of Thunder Dragon is the place to
be. Now that we have exchanged the pleasantries, let’s delve into the elephant
in the room – what is the best time to visit Bhutan?
While Autumn and Spring is always a crowd favourite, you
shouldn’t ignore the Summer. Spring has already kicked in, so, if you are
looking to plan a trip to Bhutan in the upcoming months, May and June should be
at the top of your bucket list. Why? Let’s find out.
Celebrations
and festivals
Bhutan is full of festivals and celebrations at this time of
the year. The “Ura Yakchoe” - a renowned dance form of the Ura Valley in
Bumthang is held in the month of May. It comes with the added bonus of a sacred
relic being put on display, so that everyone can receive blessings from it.
Rain Check
Monsoon in Bhutan generally arrives in the latter parts of
June. Although rainy mountains can sound to be a hindrance, the lush greenery
and the relative lack of crowd makes it a more appealing time to visit. Heavy
rain generally results in vibrant forests and the flourishing agriculture
fields, combined with a clear blue sky in the background – a treat for the eyes.
Kayaking and
rafting
You get the opportunity to explore its unique wilderness
through rafting and kayaking on the rugged and untamed rivers of Bhutan. These
glacial fed waterways are one of the kingdom’s open secrets.
The touch of
Nature
The land is ablaze with a spectacular palette of bright
colours at this time. Blossoming fruits trees, fresh vegetation offers a
blissful experience which is truly rejuvenating.
