Best Time To Visit Himachal

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

The saying ‘different folks, different strokes’ holds true when describing the best time to visit Himachal Pradesh. It is a stunning destination throughout the year, offering hearty food & glorious views, and in each month of the calendar, one faces different joys and hurdles while visiting the state. Himachal is lush green, vibrant, and sunny between March and June and hosts festivals like Mahashivratri and the seven-day Nalwari Festival with much aplomb. If that sounds exciting to you, it might be the best time to visit Himachal.

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.

    Pautalk's 6 days trip to Himachal

    We booked our tour with travel on ease, for amritsar, dalhousie, dharamshala. They provided the local driver with tempo traveller. The driver was very good, and condition of tempo traveller is also at par. The hotels were also very good at dharamshala ( spring valley) and dalhousie (hotel ark by pax
    ), except aura grand in amritsar was not upto the expectations, but it was part of tour. Otherwise good services, prompt response from the agent, good communication, and ease of travels.. overall we enjoyed the tour with travel ease. Thanks for the good services.. worth to book.

    Knpoornimaadiga's 5 days trip to Himachal

    A dreamy escape to Manali! Manali’s beauty left us speechless — snow-capped peaks, misty mornings, and scenic drives through pine forests. Loved exploring beautiful Solang Valley, snow in Koksar and Sissu. Loved strolling along Mall Road. The local cafes served delicious food with a cozy vibe. A per
    fect mix of adventure and peace. Can’t wait to visit again!

    Srishti Keshri

    Srishti's 6 days trip to Himachal

    Overall, my travel experience was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed my trip. A special thanks to Sandeep Sir from Turn On Vacations for his assistance. Hotel Welcome Paradise provided a wonderful stay. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the location offered a perfect view from the room. The
    food was good, although there is room for improvement, especially with dinner. The breakfast, however, was quite nice. Hotel Old Manali Retreat was good overall, but we faced some issues with the location on the map, as it was inaccurate. However, the view from the room was fantastic and definitely made my day. The staff and food were below average, though. Hotel Indrasan was another excellent property. The staff were polite, the food was very nice, and we had a good variety of options for both breakfast and dinner. Chalo Kasol Huts and Camp was a great camping option. Although there’s no view from the room, it is located near the river, which allowed us to enjoy the surroundings. The dinner here was excellent, with multiple varieties. It’s important to note that the timing for both dinner and breakfast is fixed. They won’t serve food before the designated time, and while the meals may be delayed, they won’t be served early. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to have breakfast on our last morning due to an early checkout, as my driver was in a hurry. Driver Experience: The driver was good overall. The first two days went smoothly, but his behavior changed on the activity day. We didn’t participate in any of the activities where he dropped us, which seemed to affect his attitude. On the last day, I had informed him multiple times that I needed to reach Chandigarh by 4 PM due to a 5 PM train. However, he had to pick up another traveler, and he dropped us off in Chandigarh at 2 PM. Due to his hurry, we missed our breakfast that morning.

    Ravichandran Nagarajan

    Chennai

    Ravichandran's 5 days trip to Himachal

    Hotel stay are fine. Food is good, we could not get South Indian food for our daughter as she is not able to accustom to north food. Cab and Driver were good. He is very cooperative and safe and good driving. We had only 2 things which could have been better. 1. We expected a driver who can convers
    e with us in English, because we are poor in Hindi. But unfortunately that did not happen. 2. While returning back to Delhi the driver who was with us for all 6 days has transferred us to another driver for the last 3 hours drive. The new driver was not conversing at all. I did not even heard his name properly after asking 3 to 4 times. We asked him to stop for tea/coffee few times. In spite he did not stop and his answers were 1 word. Apart from that overall the trip is very memorable

    We had great experience with Travel Triangle and Travel Talkies. All sightseeing was covered on time by our driver cum guide Mr. Om Sharma. He had good knowledge of places and routes. We liked his service and attentive behaviour. We would surely recommend to our family and friends.

    Mumbai

    Prajakta's 6 days trip to Himachal

    Booked Amritsar Dalhousie Dharamshala tour with ideal tours. Services of Hotel Sawera Grand at Amritsar were pathetic. The travel agent wanted us to remind her of the trip as she was busy with personal commitments. We had to wait for hotel rooms as the hotel was not informed about early check in. De
    spite full payment to the travel agent our check out was delayed as hotel was not paid. Driver drove recklessly in ghats causing motion sickness. The travel agent had no clue about booking at Wagah border and other trek details. Hotel DLS at Mcleodganj and Hotel Ark at Dalhousie were good.
