Bhutan Summer Tours

While many travelers head elsewhere in summer, those who visit Bhutan during the green season are rewarded with a quieter, softer, and incredibly vibrant version of the kingdom. Misty hills, blooming wildflowers, cool breezes, and flowing rivers make Bhutan Summer Tours perfect for those who love nature in full color.

Traveling between June and August, you’ll see Bhutan in its most fertile and alive form - green valleys, foggy mornings, and waterfalls cascading down every hill.
