Best Time to Visit Uttarakhand

During the summer months from March to June, the popular tourist destinations like Nainital, Rishikesh, Auli, Almora, Dhanaulti and Mussoorie in Uttarakhand offer respite from the scorching heat of north India. This is the ideal time to visit this scenic region and experience the unparalleled charm of the Himalayan mountains. While summer is ideal for going on various adventurous treks and expeditions amidst the lush green hills, the arrival of monsoon makes the state an idyllic destination for a romantic getaway.

July and August are the monsoon months in Uttarakhand, and if you are visiting the state during this time of the year, you will be greeted by relentless showers, overcast conditions and troublesome roads. During the winters, from October to February, Uttarakhand turns into a paradisiacal site covered in a thick blanket of snow.

While some destinations become inaccessible due to heavy snowfall, a host of other cities and towns become havens of unimaginable tranquility, rejuvenating sightseeing spots and surreal panorama.
