The airport that has the most frequency to Paro, Bhutan with daily flights (as of NOV 2024) is Drukair (Royal Bhutan Airways) from Bangkok, Thailand.

The average temperatures for each valley the guests will be visiting or staying overnight in are as follows:

Thimphu - Temperature: 0.6 °C- 14.4 °C

During the day, temperatures range from 12°C to 15°C but drop to freezing or slightly below at night. Higher altitudes are colder, especially at night. With little rainfall and plenty of sunshine, daytime weather feels warmer and more comfortable for outdoor activities. In late February, there may be a few mornings with snow showers, but the weather quickly clears up.

Punakha - Temperature: 7 °C-18.7 °C

Punakha area lies between the Thimphu Valley and the Bumthang Valley at a much lower altitude of 1,214 m. So the weather in Punakha is much more warmer.

In February, most days are sunny, though you might experience a few mornings with brief rain showers. The rainfall in Punakha during this month never obscures the stunning farmland that stretches endlessly; instead, the misty mornings add a sense of mystery and make the valleys even more appealing to explore.

Paro
