The ideal time to visit Khurjey Lhakhang, one of the most revered religious sites in Bhutan, is during the dry and pleasant seasons which span from spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These periods are characterized by clear skies and moderate temperatures, providing an optimal environment for both travel and outdoor activities such as sightseeing and attending festivals. During the spring, the lush landscapes around Jakar are in full bloom, making it an exceptionally beautiful time to explore the area and visit the Lhakhang.
Autumn is particularly special as it coincides with one of Bhutan's most vibrant festivals, the Jambay Lhakhang Drup, which takes place nearby. This religious festival, usually held in November, offers a spectacular cultural experience with masked dances and religious rituals that draw visitors from around the world. Visiting Khurjey Lhakhang during this festival not only allows you to witness Bhutanese tradition at its most lively but also to enjoy the temperate climate of the region before the onset of winter. Travelers are advised to book accommodations well in advance if planning to visit during this popular festival.
