Information about Thimphu

Visiting Thimphu will be an experience of a lifetime if one knows exactly what to expect from the capital city of Bhutan. The abode of the ruling dynasty of Bhutan and the entire governmental department, Thimphu does not look much like a dream travel destination. But in spite of the impeccably maintained urban scenario, somewhere deep down its beauty is still untouched by any of it. Here’s all that you need to know about Thimphu before paying the city a visit.

Weather in Thimphu: Thimphu enjoys a more or less pleasant temperate climate throughout the summer months till the monsoons come knocking. The spring season during March, April and May is the best time to visit Thimphu. This is when the sun starts to get warmer, and the famous rhododendrons start blooming. The average temperature in Thimphu during summer, as per any Thimphu travel guide is 25°C. After summer comes the heavy showers of the south-west monsoon, which make it difficult to travel around. But monsoon is followed by the clear skies of autumn and the chill of winter, which are also perfect times to visit Thimphu. In winter, the temperature does go below 0°C, but it is not unbearable.

Nightlife in Thimphu: It might be difficult to assume from the outside, but Thimphu has a happening nightlife scene. If a Thimphu map is consulted, there are quite a few nightclubs, bars and pubs to enjoy the night time in the city. Space 34, Club Ace, Mojo Park and Vivacity are the hip places of the town where the youth gather to party the night away. Mojo Park among these has a different ambiance. They play quality live music instead of in-house DJs and give platforms to local artists and bands. If partying is not your thing, the weekend market and the various cultural programs are there as well, which reflect the history and heritage of Bhutan.

Food in Thimphu: Bhutan has a very distinct palate which is an acquired taste. But the many restaurants and eateries in Thimphu make sure that the tourists have a good glimpse into what their country has to offer, culinary-wise. A reading of the Thimphu city map should point out the best restaurants in the neighborhood. Make sure to taste Bhutan’s special Ema Datshi – a spicy stew of cheese and chilies and Ara – the soul-warming alcohol made from distilled rice.

Shopping in Thimphu: The shopping scenario of Thimphu is rooted in tradition rather than commercialization. There are some malls and places for hawker markets in Thimphu, but those are not the places which get the tourist crowd. The main attractions are the shops which sell indigenous products like handicrafts, hand-woven textiles, thangkas, Buddhist figurines and prayer wheels and so on. People mostly trust the government emporiums for these type of things, and Thimphu has a couple of them. Other than that, there are a few shops which maintain their standard and their price as well.

Festivals in Thimphu: The most prominent festival of the capital city is the Thimphu Tshechu. It takes place for 3-4 days in the autumn season. Tshechu festivals are a celebration of the Bhutanese culture and Thimphu makes sure its festivities live up to the position of a country capital. Though originally it is a religious event in sentiment, the colors, music and brilliantly captivating performances make it a sort of a celebration of life.

    Divya's 7 days trip to Thimphu

    The tour was awesome and without any hassles. Our pickups and drops from airport and to airport were always on time, and the tour bus was always on time. This helped us from nuances of delays.full rating for this. The tour guide was quite gentle kind and pleasing and always answered all our quest
    ions, we had great discussions and cultural knowledge exchange with Bijay Gurung on the trip. The bus captain was quite amiable and was always drove with cool mind ensuring absolute safety. The hotel staff was well informed by our tour operator GreenZone (Sharmila Ma'am). It is highly notable that Sharmila Ma'am always responded all our questions how much ever basic and silly could be within no time. She has her WhatsApp always on, and gives a lot of priority to customers' queries and always answers promptly. Her continuous help and guidance made our journey very well informed and comfortable as we knew where we are ad what we are supposed to do. A big thank you to Sharmila Ma'am and her team for making my daughter's first birthday grand in Bhutan. Heartfelt Kadin Chhe to you and Bhutan. We highly recommend Green Zone and Sharmila Ma'am for all tourist activities for Bhutan. We also thank Travel Triangle for their easy to use application and prompt service for helping us choose the agent. Without travel triangle we won't be able to find the right Travel partner so easily.

    Suraj Kumar Sureka

    Kolkata

    Suraj's 7 days trip to Thimphu

    It was an amazing experience booking this trip with Green Zone Destination (GZD). The trip was well organized by Sharmila ji and near to perfect. She took care of everything and was very pro active in all her communications both before the trip and during the trip as well. She ensured that all prob
    lems / questions were answered and the trip experience was smooth. For example we were not happy with the food options in one of the hotels and we raised it to Sharmila ji. She immediately escalated the message to the hotel and we were treated with a wide spread of breakfast options in the next morning. The driver was calm and well behaved. The guide was quite knowledgeable. He provided insights / shared tales in all the places we visited. The best part was hiking to Tiger nest monastery. The view was breath taking. Overall very well planned. Kudos to GZD team and Sharmila ji :)
