Best Time To Visit Himachal

Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination

It can, however, get a bit hot during the summer months, from which the monsoon season brings a bit of relief. Relatively more pleasant in temperature, the July to September period brings festivals like the Minjar Festival and Phulaich with it. But the heavy rainfall might damper your outdoor plans if you’re visiting Himachal for adventure and sports activities. The winter season is dry and cool. Celebrate Lohri and the International Himalayan Festival with local customs in Himachal Pradesh. December and February are also the best time to visit Himachal for snowfall. Thus, plan your visit to Himachal Pradesh per your needs and preferences.

Climate in Himachal

Summer Season in Himachal

The summer season in Himachal Pradesh lasts from March to June. Temperatures fluctuate between a minimum of 22 degrees and a maximum of 37 degrees Celsius. The sun's warm rays embracing your face welcome you to another day in the hilly paradise, and as dusk falls, the cool winds and hot supper make for a wholesome experience. The state also celebrates the Doongri Fair, also called the Hadimba Devi Fair, an explosion of colours and local traditions. Summer is also the best season to visit Himachal if you plan camping and trekking in the lush green valleys and the verdant mountains.

Monsoon Season in Himachal

In winter, Himachal is a snowy paradise. You might think you’ve been transported to some Northern European country with charming countryside hamlets. It is a fantastic time to visit Himachal Pradesh for a romantic getaway with your spouse or an adventurous holiday with your buddies. Go skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, or some light-hearted snowball fights. The temperature is between 0 and 15 degrees Celsius, so ensure you carry your warm woollens. With snow-laden peaks and frozen lakes, winter is the best season for Himachal holidays.

Winter Season in Himachal

Imagine sitting with your partner in one of the cosy cafes of Himachal, drinking hot soup and meditating on the day’s adventures, and you smell the sweet and green petrichor of rain hitting the earth. Could there be anything better? While you can’t go trekking every day during the monsoon season, the views of the mountains surrounded by misty clouds and green valleys covered in dewdrops are enough to make you want to stay here forever. The temperature remains between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, hitting just the sweet spot between chilly and cosy. However, one must be very cautious and avoid visiting regions prone to landslides.

Chaitanyakumar's 7 days trip to Himachal

I opted EasyGo Vacation for HP trip of 12 Days, And I was right in choosing Aman joshi from easygo vacation. He has been very helpful right from the first day i interacted with him. He was willing to change the itinerary and make adjustments just the way I liked it to be. The selection of places and the hotels with good view under a budget is what Aman good at. He is also good at explaining his thoughts. Our trip included Cab and transfers along with Hotels. And Driver - Goutam Sarkar was really nice person. He used to suggest time to leave the hotel each day before went to hotel at night and be ready 10 mins before we come down. he used to call us 30 mins before to make sure we get ready too. Hotel staff in all the locations were more than willing to help and accommodate our request. A pleasant family experience.! The rating can nothing be short of Extremely likely, because of Aman and Goutam. They were really nice persons to have interacted with. But there is small scope of improvement which I have brought to notice of Aman and hope he improves upon them for future tourists!

Neetisha's 5 days trip to Himachal

For us travel agent was Aman, his arrangement for our trip to dharamshala, manali, vaishnodevi, Amritsar were too good. Hotels which booked are so good above our expectations, driver is also very supportive and guide us properly. Thank you travel triangle for arranging all this things and make our trip memorable. Rohtank and vagha border are memorable place for all of us.

Rajkumar's 5 days trip to Himachal

It's not compulsion but if possible can we get weather updates for the travel period before 2days or 1 week and provide suggestions to over come the weather hassle. Adventures in Kufri however due to my sons health could not complete total adventures taken by us. However the adventures in Kufri and Manali are very good.

Rohit's 3 days trip to Himachal

Specialy We are appreciated to the cab driver, for his cooprative nature. And the hotel staff is so good.

Rohit Verma Delhi

Vishal's 6 days trip to Himachal

The experience with TT and Scape Tours was below satisfaction. The cab and driver service caused us inconvenience with the driver not providing service in accordance with our itinerary. Our booking had cab service until 10 pm but the driver was not willing to drive after 7 pm. This caused us inconvenience especially given the fact that we were a family with 2 small kids. The payment process was also confusing as Scape Tour delegated our booking to another company and in the middle of the trip the driver of that company started asking us to pay them directly. Scape Tour was also not pro active in communicating when and how much payment installment is required for the booking. We would get a message one day to make same day payment and until we paid, we would constantly get messages and calls ( every 10-15 minutes) which was frustrating while we were in the middle of our trip. On the whole, the experience was less than satisfactory.

The best time to explore Himachal Pradesh is from March to June and from September to December.

Although this topic is subjective, February is the best month to visit Himachal Pradesh. You can see snowfall, and in late February, spring starts to make its presence known for the first time, and temperatures start rising again. This means that in this transitional time between winter and spring, you can have a great holiday here.

Snow falls in almost all parts of Himachal Pradesh from mid-December to mid-February, making the winter season perfect for snowy tours. The temperature ranges from 0 to 15 degrees Celsius, and white clouds of snow cover the higher terrains.

The best time to visit Himachal depends on your preferences and the experiences you’re looking for. Generally, spring and summertime are great for visiting Himachal with your family. The weather is pleasant, the flowers are in bloom, and green grasslands and picturesque valleys are all you can see. If your family is adventurous and loves skiing and ice skating together, the winter season could also be a good time to visit Himachal Pradesh.

The off-season in Himachal starts from March and lasts till April and this is the best time to book tour packages as there are heavy discounts on offer.
