Ideal time to do Kheerganga Trek
The optimum time to take the mountain trek to Kheerganga is within the months of May – June and September – October. During these phases the weather is often quite pleasant, with intermittently warm temperatures and clear skies that are conducive to comfortable trekking. Spring and early summer months have a great variety of lush vegetation and beautiful blooms alongside the route, thus contributing to the mood of the walk. In contrast, the Fall months provide a very beautiful foliage, which paint the landscape with hues of gold and red. During the monsoon season (July to August), heavy rainfall and a greater chance for landslides are experienced that make the trekking unfit especially. Much like that, winters, i;.e., from the month of November to April, are shiveringly cold with heavy snowfall that make the trekking trail difficult and dangerous. Hence, to have the best of Kheerganga and also to make your trek risk-free and enjoyable, plan a visit in the months of spring or autumn.
