If you don\u2019t know much about this small part of the world but want to visit, the professionals at Anubhav Vacations can help plan the perfect tailored vacation for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joining a Bhutan tour group that has respect for the Bhutanese culture and way of life can not only offer you immersive sightseeing experiences and activities but also save you the time and hassle of planning it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to know about traveling to this epic part of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-best-time-to-visit-bhutan\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_time_to_visit_Bhutan\"><\/span>What is the best time to visit Bhutan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most Himalayan destinations, you can visit Bhutan during spring or autumn. Springtime, from March to June, offers beautiful carpets of rhododendrons blooming across Bhutan\u2019s valleys and crisp and cool weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>October to November, on the other hand, offers you a glimpse of the rare, black-necked cranes that migrate through the Phobjikha valley. While both seasons can get rather chilly, they are ideal for hiking, monastery climbs, and exploring the stunning markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Time to Visit: <\/strong>March-June is the best to visit Bhutan from India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Highlights: <\/strong>From colorful rhododendrons, magnolias, and other wildflowers blossoming, to visiting the Punakha Suspension Bridge. The Paro Tshechu, one of Bhutan\u2019s biggest religious festivals, is also held during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bhutan-itinerary-ancient-guide-through-bhutan-s-history\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bhutan_itinerary_Ancient_guide_through_Bhutans_history\"><\/span>Bhutan itinerary: Ancient guide through Bhutan&#8217;s history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the immersive traveler looking to lose themselves in the land of culture, Bhutan is the ideal choice. Here, you can look out for the Buddhist mask dance, visit local stores and eateries serving traditional Bhutanese fare in Thimphu, or explore the natural beauty, wildlife, and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While hotel tariffs may seem higher compared to other places in this region, opting for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anubhavvacations.in\/international\/bhutan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bhutan tour packages<\/a> for 11 days can help keep your trip within budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the perfect itinerary to keep in mind when visiting this stunning Himalayan kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-paro-bhutan\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Paro_Bhutan\"><\/span>1.
