Punakha

About

Bhutan is a landlocked Himalayan kingdom that has preserved its unique culture and traditions.
As Punakha is around a 4 hour drive from the airport in Bhutan, we highly recommend spending your first night at Uma Paro by Como or Amankora Punakha which are only 10 to 20 minutes from the airport.  We have a number of great itineraries that combine both properties and some wonderful adventures in this magical kingdom.

Weather

In the western, central and eastern Bhutan you will mostly experience cold European-like weather. Winter lasts here from November to March. The Monsoon occurs between June and August when the temperature is normally between 8° and 21°C. October and November are arguably the best months, when the monsoon has passed and the skies are clear. The spring months of March, April and May are best for the flora, but it can be stormy as the monsoon builds up for July-September.
