Best Places to Visit in Bhutan

1. Thimphu:Thimphu sits in a wooded valley at about 7,375 feet above sea level. It is Bhutan’s capital, yet there are no traffic lights; white-gloved police keep cars moving. Walk through Tashichho Dzong to see the King’s offices, then step into the National Memorial Chorten where locals circle with prayer beads. At the National Institute for Zorig Chusum, students learn painting, wood carving and embroidery. End your day at the fifty-one-metre Buddha Dordenma statue and browse the market for chillies, cheese and woven fabric.

Best Time to Visit: March–May, September–November

2. Paro: Paro is the entry point to Bhutan for visitors because the international airport sits in a wide valley surrounded by the snowcapped Himalayas. A Bhutan trip from Kolkata often includes an exploration of Paro, where you can hike to the Tiger’s Nest, a monastery clinging nine hundred metres above the city. Inside the town, you can cross a wooden bridge to Rinpung Dzong, then visit Ta Dzong, the round tower now serving as the National Museum. Shops along the main street sell yak-wool scarves, red rice, and prayer wheels.

Best Time to Visit: March–May, September–November

3. Punakha: Punakha lies at the meeting point of two rivers, so the air is warmer and the land greener than in the higher valleys. The seventeenth-century Punakha Dzong stands on a spit of land between the Mo Chhu and Pho Chhu rivers, and guards relics of Bhutan’s early kings. Walk across one of the country’s longest suspension bridges, with a length of 160 metres, for views of rice terraces and purple jacaranda blooms in spring. A gentle hike through fields leads to Chimi Lhakhang, a historic temple where couples seek blessings for children.

Best Time to Visit: October–April

4. Phobjikha Valley: Phobjikha Valley is a broad glacial bowl at 9,800 feet in the Black Mountains. Each winter, hundreds of black-necked cranes migrate from Tibet and feed in the marsh, an event locals mark with dances at Gangtey Monastery. The easy Gangtey Nature Trail lets you watch the birds without disturbance. Energy cables run underground to keep the skyline clear. Many travellers add the valley to a Bhutan package from Kolkata to combine an offbeat experience.

Best Time to Visit: October–February

5. Bumthang: Bumthang covers four linked valleys, all lush with buckwheat, dairy farms and apple orchards. It is seen as Bhutan’s spiritual heart because it houses temples from the seventh century. Visit Jambay Lhakhang and Kurjey Lhakhang, where murals trace the life of Guru Rinpoche. Tamshing Monastery shows early Bhutanese art painted by hand on its walls. Between sightseeing, you can sample honey, cheese and locally brewed red panda beer in Jakar town, then cycle quiet roads beside cool, clear mountain rivers.

Best Time to Visit: March-May, September–November.
