In central valleys of Punakha, Wangdiphodrang, Mongar, Trashigang
and Lhunsthi enjoy a semi tropical climate with very cool winters,
while Thimphu, Tongsa and Bumthang have a much harsher climate, with
heavy monsoon rains in the summer and heavy snow-fall in the winter,
which often blocks the passes leading into the central valleys.
Winter in Bhutan begins from mid-November until mid-March, and at
this time of the year the climate is dry, with daytime temperatures
sometimes falling below zero Celsius. The monsoon usually arrives in
mid-June and it lasts until mid September. Autumn is the
magnificent season
for trekking
until November. The southern part of Bhutan is tropical, and in
general the east of Bhutan is warmer than the west of the country.
