Looking for a unique and special place to celebrate Christmas? Bhutan offers a truly magical experience during the holiday season. Forget supermarket Poinsettias – in Bhutan, you’ll find majestic Poinsettia trees in full bloom, adding a vibrant touch to the festive atmosphere.

Christmas in Bhutan is a wonderful time to visit, with clear blue skies and plenty of sunshine during the day. While it can get chilly in the mornings and evenings, most hotels provide cozy heating for your comfort. With fewer tourists around, it's an ideal time to explore Bhutan’s serene beauty and unique culture.

Why not celebrate Christmas with a Swiss/Bhutanese family in Bumthang? You'll be welcomed with Christmas cookies, enjoy a large Christmas tree, and indulge in a special holiday meal. Afterward, continue your journey to Paro or Thimphu to ring in the New Year. New Year is widely celebrated throughout Bhutan, and interestingly, it’s also the traditional day for Bhutanese people to celebrate their birthdays.

Ring in the New Year with an unforgettable hike to the iconic Taktshang Gomba (Tiger’s Nest Monastery). This 3-4 hour trek through serene blue pines and past water-powered prayer wheels leads you to one of Bhutan’s holiest sites. Perched 1,000 meters above the Paro Valley, the ancient monastery clings to a sheer cliff, offering breathtaking views of the valley below. The peaceful sounds of prayer flags fluttering in the wind will make your New Year truly unforgettable.
