The Paro Tshechu is held in Paro in March or April. The Thimphu Tshechu is help in capital Thimphu in September or October. The Punakha Tshechu is celebrated in February or March in the Punakha Dzong.
Winter (December to February) can be cold, especially in higher elevations, but it offers stunning views of snow-capped mountains. The monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy rainfall, but it can still be a good time to visit for lower tourist numbers and lush green landscapes.
It typically needs 6 to 10 days. For a 6-day tour, it is highly recommended to visit Paro - Thimphu - Punakha, and return to Paro. Begin in Western Bhutan with around 2 days in Paro, followed by Thimphu (1-2 days) and Punakha (1-2 days). Or, extending your trip by 1-2 days will allow you to explore the less-visited Haa or Phobjikha valleys. To delve deeper into Bhutan's cultural heritage, head to central Bhutan for 1-2 days to visit Trongsa and Bumthang. This itinerary ensures a well-rounded experience, showcasing the best of Bhutan's natural beauty and historic sites.
