Pick Bhutan 🇧🇹 if you're going in…
April, May
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 Vietnam 🇻🇳 if you're going in…
January, February, June, July, August, September, December
Don't try the whole country in monsoon swing months (Sep–Oct) — coastal weather is unreliable.
Months where both are equally good: March, October, November.
