Summer (April–June): The most popular season — pleasant weather, open mountain passes, and full access to all attractions. Book cabs 2–3 weeks ahead as this is peak season.

Monsoon (July–September): Lush green landscapes but a risk of landslides on mountain roads. Travel only with experienced drivers who monitor road conditions. Some high-altitude passes may close temporarily.

Winter (October–March): Snowfall transforms the landscape but several roads close. If visiting in winter, book a 4WD/SUV and confirm road status before departing. Sairgah drivers carry snow chains where needed.
