Pick Bhutan 🇧🇹 if you're going in…

Honestly, South Korea edges ahead in every month — but Bhutan is still rewarding if it's already on your list.

Book months ahead for Oct — every guide and hotel is taken around the tshechus. The Sustainable Development Fee is USD 100/day; visas are arranged by your licensed tour operator.

Pick South Korea 🇰🇷 if you're going in…

January, May, June, July, August, September, December

Avoid the Korean monsoon (jangma) in late June–July.

Months where both are equally good: February, March, April, October, November.
