The
Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan is fast emerging
from centuries of self imposed isolation.
First opened to tourists in 1974 in very
regulated manner upon the coronation of
present Bhutanese King, this mountain kingdom
is still perhaps the world's most exclusive
tourists destination. Due to the Royal Government's
far-sighted policy to preserve the countries
pristine environment and its culture, the
harmful effects to industrialization and
mass tourism on the environment and the
traditional lifestyle of Bhutanese have
been carefully avoided. This makes Bhutan
a truly unique destination. An unspoiled
country with majestic mountains, a unique
cultural heritage preserved for many centuries,
an architectural style like no other, a
landfill of warm hearted and friendly people,
reveals a true paradise in the lost era
of the present century.
Climate:
( general )Days are normally warm. Nights
can at times be very cool, and winter even
below freezing. Monsoon showers occur in
summer (Heaviest in July and August), and
sometimes even in spring and autumn. The
most visited months are March, April, May,
September, October and November. During
these months you may expect mostly warm
sunny days and cool/cold nights. Whereas
rain or snow is not usual at these times,
it is a possibility.
What
to Bring: Personal clothing: Strong, normal
clothing ( According to the season), preferably
cotton for summer and woolen clothing for
evening and winter. For Trekking strong
comfortable trekking boots, warm socks,
sunglasses, headgear, raincoat, and warm
clothing, including a down Jacket for higher
