Best Time To Visit Char Dham Yatra > Weather And Festivals

What is the best time to visit Char Dham Yatra?

The best time to visit Char Dham in Uttarakhand is between the months of May and June, before the onset of the monsoon, and then again from September to early November, after the monsoon subsides. During these months, the weather is relatively pleasant, and the paths are safer for travel. The monsoon season, from July to August, is typically avoided due to frequent landslides and potential road blockages. It's also worth noting that the temples close during the harsh winter months due to heavy snowfall and usually reopen in May, depending on weather conditions.
