Best Time To Visit Chardham
If you want to experience the divine pilgrimage ‘Chardham’ in all its glory, the best time to go is between May and June or September and October.
The skies are clear, the temperature’s not too high, and the days are pleasant and long, so you can cover more ground and explore the stunning natural beauty of the Himalayas.
But avoid heading over during the winter (November to April) – because heavy snowfall and intense weather conditions will not allow you to even access the roads or trekking trails.
And while it may be tempting to go during the monsoon season (July to August). The roads can become slippery and dangerous, and the trekking trails can be washed away, making it difficult to travel.
