Best Seasons for Visiting Bhutan the Nature and the Culture Enjoyed Through Celebration Traveling to Bhutan is such a perfect season in itself because weather predominates in the mood to enjoy nature and celebrate cultural events. Spring and autumn are suitable seasons; these periods were when the weather was great, and the skies were clear, with a beautifully created landscape that makes trekking, sightseeing, and cultural festivals even more enjoyable. Whether travelling the way spring flowers bloom most vividly or by absorbing crisp air and the dissipating color of autumn festivals, each season has its beauty for the excited traveller.
Spring Season:
Spring is one of the best seasons for travel to Bhutan. Beautiful weather with warm temperatures and a minimum of rain are favorable conditions for an enjoyable hiking and sightseeing experience. Whole valleys and mountains look well covered with flowering plants, which brighten the panorama with colors from rhododendrons, magnolias, and cherry blossoms, so much so that it is a sight to see. The skies themselves are typically clear, and with festivals resulting in beautiful views and cultural experiences, this will indeed be one of the most memorable times to have in Bhutan.
Autumn Season:
Out of all the seasons, this is cool, bright, and really well worth paying for a visit to Bhutan in autumn, with very clear blue skies, and copper-colored air over the landscape. Weather conditions are best suited for trekking because they involve warm temperatures and low humidity. Added to that- autumn months are just finishing up topping the sightseeing because one gets to see views of mountains and valleys that are likely to stay with one forever. Paro Tterschu is usually held in autumn and forms a perfect mixture of the aroma-fresh moments where grandeur manifested itself culturally in vibrant dances and rituals alike. This time of the year also produces striking memorable photographs of beautiful monasteries and mountain vistas.
There will be the typical Bhutanese food as well as familiar continental ones during the Bhutan tour meal. In Thimphu and Paro, ema datshi, jasha maru, red rice-all these served at really cozy local establishments. For example, while actually staying in Punakha and Wangdue Phodrang, you will come to know what the taste of home-cooked meals is for yourself: locally produced ingredients, quite possibly those served at home. Most of the hotels offer buffet-style meals, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, for all types of travelers. Everyday cooking in Bhutan uses a variety of fresh vegetables, dairy products, and flavorful spices, making every dish unique and hearty. All the food experiences will help visitors appreciate the unique culinary culture of a country and provide the chances to witness warm Bhutanese hospitality.
Bhutanese cuisine is unpretentious, but highly flavorful, and is influenced mainly by the Tibetan and Indian styles of cooking.
