Six Senses Bhutan
When to visit Six Senses Bhutan
In spring, vibrant flowers dot the landscape with color and the weather is pleasant for hiking and visiting ancient monasteries. Summer turns the valleys into lush gardens to enjoy an abundance of freshly picked produce. Autumn brings clear blue skies and fun festivals. Winter offers a unique charm. While higher elevations see snow, the valleys remain sunny and cool, and the clear air provides excellent visibility of the Himalayan peaks—making each season a contender for the best time to travel to Bhutan.
