Deserts in Bhutan? None.

No Deserts

Bhutan has no deserts. Its climate ranges from subtropical in the south to alpine in the high Himalayas, with abundant rainfall in most areas.

Climate Zones

• Southern foothills: Subtropical, hot, humid, heavy monsoon rain.
• Central valleys: Temperate, distinct seasons, moderate precipitation.
• High mountains: Alpine to glacial, cold, snow-covered.

Key Feature

Water abundance—rivers fed by glaciers and monsoon—makes desert conditions impossible.
