Bhutan is a good place to visit during fall and early spring. The scenery you’ll get to see here is incomparable to anything else in the world.

Seeing that this is the most northern national park in the U.S., you won’t see too many tourists here. Enjoying the solitude of the mountains and the valleys is a feeling that you can’t experience in many other places in the world. The variety of wildlife is astonishing. It’s the least visited park in the country, so you’ll feel like you have it to yourself. Camping is allowed throughout the year, but the best time to visit is summer, though even then the nights are chilly. Many people don’t even know about it, even though the park offers fantastic hiking opportunities.
Don’t be lazy, get out and explore the world! Good luck!
