Winter [December to February]: Bhutan's winter is cold, especially in higher altitudes. If you enjoy crisp, clear winter days and snow-capped mountains, this can be a picturesque time to visit. It's less crowded, offering a more serene experience.

Festivals: Bhutan hosts vibrant festivals throughout the year. If experiencing Bhutanese culture and traditions is a priority, plan your Bhutan group tour around festivals like Paro Tsechu, Thimphu Tsechu, Punakha Drubchen, Wangdue Phodrang Tsechu, Jakar Tsechu, Haa Summer Festival, Jambay Lhakhang Drup, Black-Necked Crane Festival, Trashigang Tsechu, etc. Festival dates vary, so keeping an eye on them when booking your Bhutan tour with NatureWings, the best Bhutan group tour operator in India, is a good idea.
