Visiting Bhutan in Autumn

Choosing to visit Bhutan in the autumn is an excellent decision that promises a memorable experience filled with natural beauty and cultural richness. The weather during this season is typically pleasant, characterized by cool, crisp air and abundant sunshine, allowing you to fully appreciate the breathtaking landscapes that Bhutan is renowned for. With the monsoon rains behind you, the clear views of the majestic Himalayas and the vibrant colors of the foliage create a picturesque backdrop for your journey. Here are some benefits of traveling during this enchanting time:

  • Clear Skies: Autumn provides clear skies, which are ideal for sightseeing and photography. The visibility is often unparalleled, making it an excellent time to capture the stunning vistas of the Paro Valley, the imposing cliffs of the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, and the intricately designed dzongs that dot the landscape. Photographers and nature lovers alike will find endless opportunities to take breathtaking shots against the backdrop of the blue sky. Try to get your left window seat to see the highest himalayan peaks, landing will be very soon after 15 mins of view the peak, you can use your camera or phone to take your best unforgettable photos, even you can record the full landing video in the flight.

  • Comfortable Temperatures: The mild weather means you won't need to pack heavy winter clothing. Daytime temperatures are generally pleasant, ranging from the mid-teens to low twenties Celsius, while nights can be cooler, allowing for a comfortable and enjoyable exploration of the outdoors. This temperate climate is perfect for trekking, hiking, and engaging in other outdoor activities without the discomfort of excessive heat or cold.

  • Festivals: This season often features local festivals (Tsechu), offering a unique cultural experience that immerses you in Bhutanese traditions. One of the most significant festivals, the Thimphu Tshechu, usually occurs in autumn, showcasing vibrant dances, colorful costumes, and religious ceremonies that reflect the rich heritage of the country. Participating in these festivities not only provides insight into Bhutanese culture but also allows you to interact with the warm and welcoming locals, making your visit even more memorable.

Leaving from Bangkok

The adventure starts with an early morning departure from Bangkok, adding to the trip's excitement and anticipation. The bustling atmosphere of Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport can be invigorating, setting the tone for your journey ahead. Here are some tips for a smooth beginning to your travel experience:

  • Arrive Early: Getting to the airport early helps you relax and avoid any last-minute stress. Aim to arrive at least three hours before your flight to allow ample time for check-in, security checks, and any unforeseen delays. This extra time can also ease your transition from the vibrant city life of Bangkok to the serene landscapes of Bhutan.

  • Boarding Pass: Be sure to check your visa approval letter information like your passport number, name are all printed correctly to secure your boarding pass in advance. Additionally, familiarize yourself with the baggage policies to avoid any surprises at the check-in counter.

  • Explore the Airport: Use the extra time to explore shops or enjoy a meal before your flight. I was tired but full of energy to excite about my trip to back home. You can also browse through duty-free shops for unique souvenirs, cigerettes are allowed to enter Bhutan by laws, making the most of your time at the airport.


In my planning, your visit to Bhutan in the autumn will offer you an unforgettable experience, free from the hassles of the rainy season. The combination of stunning landscapes, rich cultural experiences, and the excitement of traveling from a bustling city like Bangkok to the tranquil beauty of Bhutan makes for a truly remarkable journey. Whether you are trekking through the mountains, participating in local festivals, or simply soaking in the serene environment, your autumn adventure in Bhutan is sure to be a highlight of your travel experiences.
