Looking for an amazing travel destination for your 2024 summer holidays? Look no further than Bhutan, one of Asia's cleanest countries with unadulterated nature and a pristine ambiance. While you can book a Bhutan tour package from Delhi with direct flight, guests can opt another way to travel this stunningly beautiful destination through booking a Bhutan package tour from Guwahati also.

Following are the documents required for Indian tourists to travel Bhutan from Delhi or Pune. Guest can carry any one of the two valid travel documents :
Summer in Bhutan is between June to end of September when temperature in most of the central Bhutan prevails between 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. It's a kind of Sunny and little humid, nights are cold and you may feel to wear light woolen garments or jackets. Surrounding of cities and tourist points seems green everywhere and clear sky gives an opportunity to behold the long range of snow clad Himalayan peaks. If you travel this time, you can experience Haa Festival which signifies the Bhutanese food, culture, tradition and way of life. With less crowed you can visit and experience many sightseeing places at peace. So, summer is one of the best times to choose for Bhutan Holiday Packages from Delhi.
In terms of travel month, autumn is the best season for Bhutan Tour booking from Delhi. With pleasant weather which range between 10 to 15 degree, travelling and sightseeing in day time makes comfortable while the nights are considerably chill but enjoyable. This is the festive season in Bhutan and travelers get a chance to sneak the authentic cultural heritage and festivals of Bhutan. The Black-Necked Crane Festival, Paro Tshechu, Punakha Tshechu is held with great festivity mood among Bhutanese people. Dzongs and monasteries come into live with colorful flags flattering in wind, big Thonkas and dances of masked man. For tourist it is high time to travel. But NatureWings suggest to book your Bhutan tour packages within summer season to avoid peak season rush and non-availibity of hotels and flight tickets.
Winter in Bhutan is not so soothing, rather it's harsh. Due to high Himalayan altitude during winter temperature drops rapidly and cities like Thimphu, Paro, Punakha gets covered under thick blanket of snow making life standstill. In northern parts high-altitude area temperatures can get down to sub-zero. As harsh weather prevails, Gov of Bhutan declares holidays in schools, collages, and Gov. Offices also. Accessibility between different place become difficult due to heavy snowfall. In spite of that, if you wish to experience the snow and cold with some of the festivals that happen during winter, you obviously can book your Bhutan Package Tour this time. Some festivals like Monggar Tshechu, Trashigang Tshechu, Lhuntse Tshechu and Trongsa Tshechu is held between November and December. So don't look back, book your Bhutan Tour from Delhi in winter without any hesitates. Winter in Bhutan is Awesome!
After a long harsh and cold winter, Bhutan comes to alive during spring. The blooms of Jacaranda and Rhododendron marks the spring in Bhutan. The roads, valleys and surroundings are covered with purple petals which makes the ambience like heaven. During March to May, with little or no rain, sky become crystal clear which marks the begining of world famous Jomolhari and Drukpath treks? Moreover, this is the time of some of the great auspicious festivals like Paro Tshechu, Gasa Tshechu, Rhooddendron festivals, Talo Tshechu etc. The King of Bhutan also takes part in these festival activities. During March to May Bhutan is usually packed with tourists, so NatureWings advise to book Bhutan package from Delhi as early as possible along with the flights to avoid peak season surcharge, hotel sur-charges and extra flight cost.

The chorten was build in the third King memory, and it was continuously circumambulated by people, murmuring mantras and spinning their prayer wheels. The idea to construct this landmark was proposed by Bhutan third King, His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuk (the father of modern Bhutan), who has wished to erect a monument to the World for peace and prosperity. Completed in 1974 after Majesty's untimely death, it served as a memorial to the late King and a monument of peace.
The Clock Tower - Located at the centre of the Thimphu Town, the Clock Tower Square is an architectural wonder one can behold during Bhutan package tour from Bagdogra. This tower differs from every other construction or building in Bhutan. It is basically a tower with four clock faces in four directions.

The tower is decorated with many intricately carved floral patterns, paintings, and replica of dragons. The dragons on the tower are facing each clock in the tower, which is interesting to look at. The dragon is a holy animal in Bhutanese culture, and it stands for the country's independence. As this place is a prime attraction among locals and travelers in Bhutan, most people come here in the evening to see and enjoy the exquisite carvings and paintings.

Known as the 'Divine Madman,' Lama Drukpa Kuenley is said to use songs, humor, and outrageous behavior to preach his teachings. Chimi Lhakhang temple is believed to be the temple of fertility, and the Bhutanese hold a strong belief that childless couples are blessed by Lama Drukpa Kuenley if they visit the temple and pray for a child.
