The best seasons: If you plan to come in winter, the days will be cold and your sight-seeing might get a little freezy. Some places might need to be skipped given the roads covered under snow and ice. The journey can be risky. Summers can have lot of freshness and warmth though yet the landslides and flash floods might impede into the harmony of the journey.
So when is the right time?? Sure enough you jumped!
Springs will have scanty rainfall with blossoms everywhere. The hovering fragrance from the blooms gives you heavenly aroma. The rains will have yet another month to intrude, and snows will have just melted with the warming sun, leaving every place green and fresh. Then the Tshechu, a festival to celebrate eight manifestations of Guru Rinpoche will give you the truest essence of Buddhism. A lot of folks gather during these times wearing brocades of silk and gold. Mask dances, ‘Chham’ will be the highlight of the event. The most spectacular sight for you would be to see Punakha Dzong (Fortress) around this when Jacaranda trees will have the blossoms – purple around the fortress.
Autumn is another beautiful time when summer would have left the best things behind. Autumn blossoms and yellowing leaves of the willows will welcome you whole-heartedly. This is another time for festivities around the country and you will be lucky to have made around this time.
