In Bhutan, hiking is highly dependent on the country's distinct climate phases. The Spring (March to May) offers temperate weather and blooming flora, creating a scenic backdrop for hikers. However, occasional showers may lead to slippery trails and reduced visibility, demanding cautious navigation.
During Monsoon (June to August), heavy rains are common, often causing trail disruptions and increasing potential for landslides. Consequently, this period is not recommended for hiking activities. On the other hand, Autumn (September to November) is arguably the best time to hike in Bhutan with clear skies, moderate temperatures, and minimal rainfall.
The Winter months (December to February) bring in colder temperatures and occasional snowfall, particularly in higher altitudes. This could pose challenges such as icy trails and high-altitude sickness for unprepared hikers. Regardless of the season, it's crucial to monitor weather updates and have appropriate gear.
