    Best Season:The best time to visit is from March to June when the weather is pleasant and skies are generally clear, offering excellent views. Another great period is from September to November, after the monsoon, when the landscape is fresh and green. Winter months from December to February are ideal for those who wish to see snow-covered peaks, but be prepared for very cold temperatures. Avoid the monsoon months of July and August, as heavy rains and fog can disrupt both the views and the operation of the gondola.
