A brief journey such as a 3 Nights 4 Days Bhutan tour is an excellent option for visitors who would like a view of Bhutan’s key attractions: the capital Thimphu, the spiritual Paro Valley, and the glorious Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest) that are all within a span of four days.
Best Time to Visit Bhutan
The best season for Bhutan is spring (March-April-May) and autumn (September-October-November).
Spring: Have colorful flowers and good weather. Autumn: Clear skies, beautiful views at the mountain and great festivals such as Thimphu Tshechu and Paro Tshechu. During winter (December – January – February) you have a nice picture of the mountains while monsoon (June-July-August) is green, and verdant as it is but often comes with rain.
