Best Time
to Visit
Summer (March to June): Ideal for sightseeing, trekking, and outdoor
activities. The weather is pleasant and perfect for exploring.
Monsoon (July to
September): This season brings heavy
rainfall, which can make trekking and outdoor activities difficult. However,
the lush greenery during this time is beautiful.
Winter (October to
February): If you enjoy snowfall,
this is the best time. Temperatures drop, and the hill stations offer a serene,
snowy landscape, perfect for winter photography and snow activities.
Weather
and Clothing
Dharamshala: The weather in Dharamshala can be a bit unpredictable
due to its altitude, so it’s advisable to pack layers. Bring light clothes for
the day (especially in summer) and warmer clothes for the evening.
Dalhousie: Dalhousie can be colder than Dharamshala, especially
at higher altitudes. If you visit in winter, pack heavy woolens and winter

waterproof footwear.
