Best Time to Visit Himalayas: Planning the Perfect Himalayan Tour

Mid-November to February

These are the winter months in India. In the Himalayas (the word Himalayas in Sanskrit means abode (alaya) of snow (him)), you would find an abundance of snow. Not all hill stations will experience snowfall. But, if you book in a Himalayan resort you will find snow covered peaks and clear sky in the distant horizon. As you make your way through the mountains you will see snow-covered deodar and pine trees. 

If you are looking for a ski resort, book your holidays to Gulmarg (Kashmir), if you plan to catch the first glimpse of the Kanchenjunga and Mt Everest in the morning, visit Darjeeling, if you want to pay with snow, Manali is a good option!

June to August

Rain in the Himalayas is something that dreams are made of! If you haven’t seen one, we suggest you try. Surely, you would not be able to venture out if it rains. But, watching it pour over the distant mountain range or when you suddenly find yourself engulfed in clouds is an experience that is difficult to miss. So, carry a book and be prepared to spend a lazy afternoon or even the whole day in your resort. It is also the time when landslides can happen so you need to be careful while traveling. The resorts are generally less crowded, which makes the relaxing holiday even more pleasant. 

 

September to Mid- November

It is autumn time and again quite a wonderful time to enjoy the Himalayas. The weather becomes pleasant. After the  monsoons, its green all over and no clouds. Due to the Indian festivals (Dussehera, Diwali etc) during this time, schools remain closed and there are some holidays in offices too! It is a good time to pack your bags for an Himalayan trip. No looking back!
