April

Thimphu 7–20 °C, mostly dry, afternoon cloudsOne of the best months

April is one of the best months: warm days, flowering rhododendrons along Dochula and Chele La, and good trekking weather. The Paro Tshechu often falls in early April. It is a good time to start the Druk Path Trek or visit Haa. Haze can hide the high peaks by midday, so go up to the passes early. Hotels are busy, especially around the festival.

Tip for April

Start passes and hikes early; afternoon cloud is common from April.

Prices and crowds

Peak season: expect full rates and book certified hotels well ahead.
