Editorial snapshot
Flying to Bhutan requires planning that most destinations don't demand: a licensed tour operator, a pre-approved visa, and the Sustainable Development Fee on top of the fare. Routes are thin and seats go fast in October and spring. That said, for the traveller who wants a destination that hasn't been flattened by overtourism, Bhutan delivers something increasingly rare — genuine remoteness with functioning infrastructure.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are Bhutan's twin sweet spots: clear skies, moderate temperatures, and the country's most celebrated festivals. Monsoon season from June to August brings heavy rainfall and muddy trails but lower demand. Book at least three months ahead for October, Bhutan's single busiest month.
| Month | Price Band | Demand | Travel note |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Mid | Low | Cold and dry; good visibility for mountain views. |
| February | Mid | Low | Punakha Tshechu festival draws visitors mid-month. |
| March | Mid | Medium | Rhododendrons bloom; spring trekking season begins. |
| April | Peak | High | Paro Tshechu festival; busiest spring month. |
| May | Mid | Medium | Warm and clear before monsoon; good trekking window. |
| June | Budget | Low | Monsoon arrives; trails get muddy and slippery. |
| July | Budget | Low | Heavy rainfall; some roads and trails close. |
| August | Budget | Low | Monsoon continues; lush green landscapes. |
| September | Mid | Medium | Monsoon clears; trails reopen for trekking. |
| October | Peak | High | Thimphu Tshechu; peak demand, book months ahead. |
| November | Peak | High | Clear skies and Himalayan panoramas at their best. |
| December | Mid | Medium | Cold but uncrowded; good for cultural exploration. |

IATA: PBH · 6 km from Paro town · 54 km from Thimphu
Paro is one of the most technically demanding airports in the world: only a handful of certified pilots are cleared to land here due to the steep surrounding peaks and narrow valley approach. The single terminal is modest but efficient, with immigration and baggage claim completed quickly. Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines handle all international traffic.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Hired car (tour operator) | Included in most tour packages | 10 min to Paro · 60-75 min to Thimphu |
| Taxi | BTN 600-800 to Paro town | 10-15 min |
| Private transfer (pre-booked) | BTN 2,500-3,500 to Thimphu | 60-90 min depending on traffic |
