Frequently Asked Questions
6 Questionsnew What is the weather like in Summer vs. Winter in Bhutan, and when is the best time for this tour?
Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) offer the ultimate riding weather with crystal-clear skies, panoramic Himalayan views, and mild daytime temperatures ranging between 15u00b0C and 22u00b0C.rnrnIn Winter (December to February), days are crisp and sunny with sharp blue skies, but temperatures drop significantly at night (0u00b0C to 5u00b0C), and high mountain passes like Dochula (3,100m) and Chele La (3,988m) can experience freezing winds and frost. Summer (June to August) brings the monsoon season with lush green landscapes and vibrant flora, but rain showers and wet tarmac require rain liners and disciplined cornering.
