Travel Tips for Hiking Tours in Bhutan
- March to May (spring) and September to November (autumn) are the best seasons for trekking and hiking on Bhutan tours.
- Avoid trekking in the monsoon season between June and mid-September, as the weather is unpredictable during the rains.
- Acute mountain sickness is a common challenge during hikes in Bhutan, so give your body some time to adjust when you arrive in the country before starting a trek.
- Prepare for your hiking expedition by working out thrice a week, focusing on cardio or high-intensity interval training.
- You are not going to find ATMs or banks in remote mountainous regions, so it is best to withdraw cash from Thimphu or Paro before venturing ahead.
