The best times to visit are:

• Summer (May to June): The meadows are green, with blooming wildflowers and mild temperatures.
• Autumn (September to November): Clear skies and cooler weather, with excellent visibility of the Himalayan peaks.
• Winter (December to March): The meadows are blanketed in snow, offering a true winter trekking experience for those who enjoy cold-weather hikes.

• During summer and autumn, temperatures range between 15-20°C during the day and can drop to 0-5°C at night. In winter, daytime temperatures may be around 5-10°C, with nights dropping below freezing, sometimes down to -5°C or lower.
