Best Time To Visit Uttarakhand

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

Uttarakhand can be visited any time of the year. While destinations like Nainital and Mussoorie remain reachable throughout the year, some remote valleys and higher altitudes can be hard to get to for an occasional traveller. The Jim Corbett National Park extends near lower Himalayan foothills and thereby, it experiences milder winters and heavier rainfall. For adventure activities such as trekking and paragliding, March–April and September–October are ideal months as the weather is mostly clear and temperatures are mild.

Whether you’re planning a romantic honeymoon or a spiritual journey, the best time to visit Uttarakhand is the summer season. The temperature in Uttarakhand in winter can get really low, with some places experiencing snowfall. 

It is not advisable to plan a travel during monsoon in Uttarakhand. However, monsoon season is the best time to visit Valley of Flowers in Uttarakhand, this is when all colourful flowers are in the full bloom. At higher elevations, there is abundant snowfall during winter in Uttarakhand. Auli near Joshimath is a popular ski resort in Uttarakhand. 

Since more than 80 percent of the state has mountainous terrain, Uttarakhand is visited by travellers looking to beat the heat of lower plains or to enjoy snowfall in Uttarakhand. The state witnesses a three-season climate pattern – Summer, Autumn, and Winter – with a short burst of spring. Dehradun, with its proximity to the river plains, has hotter and drier summer compared to alpine regions. Plenty of springs and waterfalls near Dehradun are ideal to visit in summer. The Valley of Flowers speckled with a variety of fresh blooms, wandering shepherds and nomadic tribes, and the oncoming of tourist season in Uttarakhand make the summer season worth witnessing.

Climate in Uttarakhand

Summer Season in Uttarakhand

Summer in Uttarakhand is synonymous with life. Once the flowers reach their bloom, people of

Uttarakhand indulge in all sorts of festivities and daily chores that winter puts on hold. The famous Char

Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand lasts from May to September. Early spring around mid-April is ideal for

getting the best deals on packages and hotels in Uttarakhand. So, if you’re planning a trek in Uttarakhand

or a romantic getaway, summer is the best time to visit Uttarakhand.

Monsoon Season in Uttarakhand

Monsoon in Uttarakhand lasts usually from mid-June to September. The higher Himalayan region

witnesses heavy rainfall in these months. While Dehradun, Nainital, and Rishikesh also experience strong

showers. Monsoon is a favorable season to plan a trip to Uttarakhand only if you don’t mind being wet all

the time. However, hotel prices and other costs are lower as monsoon is considered a low tourist season in

Uttarakhand.

Winter Season in Uttarakhand

Lasting from November through February, winter is the best season to visit Uttarakhand for honeymoon

and family vacations. Nainital in winter is a picture-perfect hill station to visit with your better half if

you’re looking for a rendezvous. Rishikesh – the spiritual and rafting capital of India – is visited by scores

of travellers looking to enjoy camping and white water rafting. Mussoorie and its nearby hill stations offer

all the rewards a family can ask for in a holiday. The Jim Corbett National Park in winter is another great

destination to visit as there are higher odds of spotting wildlife on a winter’s day. So, Uttarakhand in

winter is as heavenly as the Kashmir Valley.

    Vagish Ojha

    Vagish's 4 days trip to Uttarakhand

    I'd like to share my recent experience with Travel Triangle, but first, let's rewind a bit. Back in 2019, I planned a trip to Himachal through MakeMyTrip, not knowing about Travel Triangle at the time. The entire experience, from the hotel to the cab and sightseeing, was fantastic. It left a lasting
    impression on me, setting a high standard in my mind for any future trips booked through similar travel sites. Fast forward to April, a friend suggested Travel Triangle for my trip to Mussorrie. After some deliberation, I decided to give it a try. Despite a bit of back and forth, the trip was booked, including a cab from Dehradun. However, there was a bit of confusion with the drivers – three called claiming they'd pick me up, but it was the fourth who finally arrived. In comparison, MakeMyTrip had promptly shared driver and cab details soon after booking. Let's talk about the present. The cab that arrived in Dehradun was clean and well-maintained, and the driver was courteous. Though there was a minor hiccup with payment, it was swiftly resolved. I even gave the driver some money for fuel, which he promptly returned before dropping us back in Dehradun. Our journey to Mussorrie was comfortable, and we reached by 10:30 am. We were pleasantly surprised when Adventure Mania, the travel company, accommodated our request for early check-in. However, upon entering the room, it didn't quite match the deluxe room with a balcony that I had booked. The view from the balcony was disappointing, facing a garbage dump, and the washroom was average at best. The food quality at the hotel was excellent, though. Breakfast choices were limited, but the quality made up for it. Now, onto sightseeing. We explored Mall Road and Gun Hill Point on the first day, and on the second, we used the cab to visit Kempty Fall and Company Garden. While the ride quality was good, the driver lacked the enthusiasm we had experienced with MakeMyTrip. When we requested a visit to Landour, known for its famous bake house, the driver suggested renting a two-wheeler instead, citing difficulty for a cab. However, upon renting one, we saw cars coming and going to Landour without any issue. In conclusion, my first trip with MakeMyTrip set a high standard, and perhaps Travel Triangle wasn't able to meet those expectations. There were some hiccups along the way, but overall, it was a decent experience. Also, I want to emphasize that while I've shared my feedback, I don't have any complaints about the cab, driver, or hotel. I'm simply sharing my experience in the hope that it may provide insights for improvement.

    Sangeetha's 5 days trip to Uttarakhand

    Sukham raasa was the hotel given for us in rishikesh, I would not recommend this place as it is very far from main rishikesh area, secondly the place is quite dirty ( rooms were dusty, water leakage under the sink, plates were dirty) MV Acosta was the room in mussoorie which was good, beautiful val
    ley view, clean room and spacious, breakfast was served hot on order and taste was good Driver Bhopal was a nice person, kept the car clean, driving was good

    Mumbai

    Shraddha's 6 days trip to Uttarakhand

    We had a great trip of 9 days at Uttarakhand. We finalized package from Adventure Mania team. Our Stay, food and travelling was great. Hotels and their service and food were good. Driver Rakesh Kumar was great with good driving skills. We had to travel long journey(around 300kms at a time) in mounta
    ins but his driving skills didn't made us sick at all. We and our baby enjoyed travelling and his company. Thanks for the great service. Just payment method was not proper. We were asked to pay at every hotel and also to driver, so in this we ended up giving 1100 rs extra (apart from the card charges) from the finalized package amount.

    Esha's 7 days trip to Uttarakhand

    It was an amazing trip arranged by mountain heavens. Harshita co-operated with us & shared the itinerary as per the customization that we needed. She even called us during the journey to check on us if everything was going well. Above everything, Tarun who was our driver, guide, friend everything du
    ring the entire 9 day trip & made our experiences at every destination even better. He guided us correctly, he kept checking on us if we were comfortable or needed anything. And also had fun with us like a friend. Highly recommend Tarun for every trip planned by mountain heavens.

    Aditya's 7 days trip to Uttarakhand

    CHD helped us plan our 7 day trip to Uttarakhand (Mussorie, Tehri, Nainital, Jim Corbett, Haridwar). Had a good discussion during planning, quoted price was reasonable so we went ahead. They messaged driver details before the trip. Our driver (Vinit) was very helpful and friendly and was with us fo
    r full 7 days. His driving was safe and car was comfortable Only thing for improvement is the plan for each location mentioned all possible locations to visit which was not possible in the given duration. You will need to discuss with driver and decide what are the possible options to visit in given time. We had a great and enjoyable trip overall and would like to thank CHD for their help.
