Best Time To Visit
You can go on a McLeodganj tour throughout the year, thanks to its pleasant weather. Although some times are better suited for a vacation than others, you can plan a trip based on what you hope to achieve there; whether adventure is on your mind or whether you simply want to relax.

Summer
The summer season in McLeodganj lasts from April to July, when the average temperature seesaws between 22° C and 32° C.

It is also a great time to enjoy a few treks, such as Kareri Lake and Indrahar Pass, since there is next to no rainfall and clear views can be guaranteed.
Winter
October to February brings on the winter season in McLeodganj, with loads of snowfall and chilly weather. This can also be termed as a good time to visit McLeodganj, since the entire terrain seems to be covered in a white blanket, with a bonfire and piping hot food taking centrestage. The average temperature during the winters hovers around 7° C to -3° C.
Monsoon
McLeodganj experiences the monsoon season from July to September, with an average temperature of 18° C and 22° C. This cannot be described as a good time to visit McLeodganj, even though the rains leave the place looking fresher and greener than ever. This is because the unpredictable rains play spoilsport with sightseeing plans, and also make trekking a dangerous sport due to slippery roads and chances of landslides.
