Trekking in India (Trekking in India - Best Season) |
|
The optimal timing for our Trekking in India
(in Kumaon and Garhwal) is between May 1st and June 30th and
between September 1st and October 15th. Both seasons have
their attractions. During the month of May the spring flowers
bloom at the margins of the snowline while the weather is
generally settled barring the occasional pre monsoon storm
that can blow up at any time. Day time temperatures can rise
to the mid 20s even at altitudes while at night they can fall
to 0 degrees C. The post monsoon season is a time of settled
weather with clear views of the mountains. Day time temperatures
will still be quite warm, upto 20 degrees C during the middle
of the day, however at night the temperatures will occasionally
drop below 0 degrees C. |

Quite unlike other regions in the Indian
Himalaya, Ladakh experiences nine months of winter and three
months of summer.The best time to visit Ladakh is in the summer
- from early June to end September.Beyond that period , temperatures
plunge to sub-Arctic levels and the region gets too cold for
comfort.By October most of the trekking routes in the higher
altitude areas are closed on account of heavy snowfall. |

Another good reason to visit Ladakh during
the summer months is that this is the time when some of Ladakh's
most important Gompas or Budhist monastries host their spectacular
annual festivals. |
