Climate
The climate varies widely depending on the elevation. In the south, it is tropical; at the northern extreme, there is perpetual snow. Very little rain falls in the autumn from October through December making it ideal for trekking.


Festivals
One of the main attractions are its annual religious festivals, known as TSECHUS.
Two of the most popular Tsechus are held in Paro in the spring and Thimphu in the autumn. Festivals are the only periods during a year when tourists are permitted inside the courtyard of the dzongs. Rare masked and sword dances and other rituals are performed in the dzong's courtyard and temples.
About Bhutan

Bhutan is a landlocked Himalayan kingdom situated in the Eastern Himalayas of southern Central Asia. Roughly the size of Switzerland, it is bordered to the north by Tibet, and to the west, south and east with India.

Bhutan is populated by friendly, welcoming people with unique customs and deeply-held beliefs. Often known as Shangri-La, this ancient kingdom offers one of the most breathtaking travel experiences with its pristine environment of spectacular contrasts, unique culture and stunning architecture.

For centuries, Bhutan remained relatively undiscovered by the rest of the world until 1974. Visitors since then have been mesmerised b Bhutan's soaring snow-capped peaks, alpine meadows and densely forested hills and ravines lush with exotic flora and fauna, dotted with numerous monasteries, temples and dzongs.

The people of Bhutan are eager to in vite you to share their undefiled nature, profound religion and timeless culture, which because of the limited number of foreign visitors allowed, has maintained much of its authenticity.
