Best Time to visit McLeodganj

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.

Avinash's 9 days trip to Dharamshala

We booked for Himachal trip. It was a very good experience for us. Right from the starting to the end of the trip we loved it. The itinerary was well planned. The agent and driver were polite and helpful with on time delivery of vouchers. Agent was available on call during the trip. We will definitely look forward to book with same travel agency (Travelepedia) again. What worked for us and what didn't. Worked for us: 1. Quality of accommodation. 2. The view from rooms were amazing. 3. Cab in very good condition. 4. Driver was polite and helpful and very experienced in driving. 5. Hotel staff were eager to serve. What could have been better: 1. We would have preferred to stay somewhere near Shimla mall road. We didn't realize it while booking it. But Shimla mall road is one of the best places to roam around late night. 2. In some places driver was forcing us multiple times to take para gliding and other similar activities and stopping car in front of shops. This is really common among all travel agents/drivers. We understand that it is commission based. So we didn't feel bad. But this definitely could have been better.

Our trip was expertly managed by Mr. Sandeep from Turn On Vacations. He is a well-mannered, polite individual who was always ready to assist both before and during the trip.

Prasad S Bengaluru

Narayana's 4 days trip to Dharamshala

Easy go vacation is an ideal choice and they gave best suited itinerary for the duration I preferred. Be it the booking agent Aman or drivers who accompanied, they executed the tour without any communication gap and on schedule. Snow games at Hamta pass, jakku temple visit and kufri are worth every penny

Narayana Hariharan Kalka

Nasi's 4 days trip to Dharamshala

Our family vacation from Chennai to Manali was an unforgettable experience, all thanks to Travel Vichar. They organized everything seamlessly, ensuring we had the best of everything. The luxury resort they booked for us was nothing short of amazing, offering an eye-catching view that made every morning special. Special mention to our driver, Ankush, who was incredibly friendly and professional. He took us to all the must-see spots and patiently waited for us to fully enjoy the sightseeing. His punctuality was commendable as he was on time every single day. Ankush also recommended some delightful local foods and good restaurants that added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip. Overall, Travel Vichar made our vacation truly memorable, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Although it is the low tourist season of the year, Mcleodganj experiences heavy rainfall from late June to September. If you don’t mind wearing rain gear, you can visit Mcleodganj in monsoon season.
