Best Time to Visit

The best time to stay is from April to June for pleasant summer weather, ideal for sightseeing. For those wanting to experience snow, December to February is perfect, though it gets very cold. September to November offers crisp, clear weather with excellent mountain views after the monsoon. The monsoon months of July and August see heavy rainfall and are generally avoided due to the risk of landslides.
Peak Crowd: May-June (summer school holidays) and December-January (peak snowfall and New Year celebrations).
Moderate Crowd: March-April and October-November, when the weather is pleasant but the main holiday rush is over.
Low Crowd: July-September, during the heavy monsoon season, due to travel risks and limited outdoor activities.
