Best Time to Visit Chandragiri Hills

The best season to visit Chandragiri Hills is during spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) when the weather is clear, temperatures are comfortable, and visibility of the Himalayan ranges is at its peak.  While Chandragiri Hills is accessible year-round, visiting during the peak season ensures the most rewarding experience.

Off Seasons - Winter & Monsoon

• Clear and bright skies in winter are perfect for taking photos
• Fewer people around, so your visit is calm and quiet
• Warm lodges and meals make winter stays cozy
• Monsoon makes the hills bright green and fresh
