Best Time to visit McLeodganj

With pleasant summer season when the temperature hovers around 25 degree celsius and quite chilly winter months when the temperature ranges between minus 1 to 9 degree celsius, McLeodganj offers amazing experiences during these periods.

Opt for a McLeodganj holiday package in between the months of March and June, i.e. the summer season and October and February, i.e. the winter season, which are the best months to visit McLeodganj. However, it is advised to avoid taking a tour to this hill station during the monsoon season as the region receives heavy downpour this time.

Below is a month wise guide to help you know the best time to visit McLeodganj.

April - July (Summer):

Escape the scorching summer heat, and hop on an excursion to McLeodganj to have a soothing experience. With temperatures ranging between 22 to 32 degree celsius, the summer season offers quite a respite to its visitors. Moreover, besides sightseeing, this period is also a great time to enjoy trekking through the Triund Hill and Indrahar Pass and explore flora and fauna.

July - September (Monsoon):

The monsoon season arrives between the months of July and September in McLeodganj. With an average annual rainfall of 350 cm, and the temperature ranging between 18 to 22 degree celsius, a visit during this period offers scenic landscapes to cherish. Though, heavy rainfall may lead to extreme inconvenience. However, if you are an offbeat traveller, you  may opt to take a tour at the beginning or the end of the season when the region receives quite low rainfall, and have a thrilling experience.

October - February (Winter):

If the winter season excites you, then you may opt for a McLeodganj tour package in between the months of October and February. Though, the region experiences snowfall and frigid weather from December to February. Choose to explore the city at the beginning of the season. However, if you may also extend your visit until February to experience the snow-clad suburb, when the temperature hovers around 9 degree celsius and the mercury drops to about minus 1 degree celsius. This period is also perfect to catch some festivals there, like the International Himalayan Festival, Himachal Winter Carnival, Lohri and Halda, or the Tibetan New Year.

Amit's 3 days trip to Dharamshala

It was great experience with the travel. Driver was expert in his job. I was feeling that I am travelling on Delhi roads while we are travelling on shimla roads. It was very smooth journey with safety and rules.

Tushar's 4 days trip to Dharamshala

I had a wonderful trip to Nainital, thanks to Sandeep. Unlike many travel agents who disappear after taking the payment, Sandeep genuinely prioritizes customer satisfaction. He goes above and beyond to ensure your trip is smooth, enjoyable, and truly memorable. I highly recommend booking your travel with him at least once — you won’t be disappointed!

Tushar Saxena Delhi

I enjoyed myself after compromising the money i paid to agents.

Pathetic experience with agent from Mr. Aman joshi (easy go) he convinced me stating that end stage other agencies change hotel and i believed him. I asked him before a week that he has booked hotels we agreed. He said yes. But he was lying. End momement he called me that hotel at shimla is not available. Also hotel at manali was not good. Alternate hotel provided for shimla was with lower budget than i paid for. He didnt listen and also Ms. Vanshika is useless. Not a single day she called and ask about hows journey going on. Rather in problem i called her and she said diplomatically ok i will check and update, but no update. Total waste of money. I am in dilemma to go with my upcoming tour after 15 days. Only driver Mr. Kishorilal was good remaining experience with family was 1 out of 10. Very bad service by agent of travel triangle as well as Easy Go agency. They share good reviews of their customers to trap people.
