Best Time to Visit

Though pilgrims come visiting Char Dham all throughout the year, many don’t know that the temples remain closed as there are particular days and months when the temples are open. Char Dham is open between April to October / November, starting from Akha Teej in May and closes on Bhai Duj. The best time to visit is early July, September, and October since May and June gets very crowded and late July and August get heavy rainfall due to which many routes are blocked.

All this affects the transportation services in the region. During the offseason, Char Dham does not have enough buses and shared taxis which makes the trip a little difficult and full of hassles.

Since the shrines are all located at a high altitude, the summer time here is great with cool winds blowing and everything seems beautiful but the nights can still get very cold hence one must not forget to pack warm clothes to keep yourselves protected.

After the monsoon, the valley gets all pretty with flowers and greenery all around. Everywhere you look, you will be awestruck with the stunning views of the valley.
