March to June
The Har Ki Dun trek typically commences in mid-March, with the valley adorned in patches of snow, particularly evident from Kalkatiyadhar to Devsu Thatch. These snow patches linger as remnants of the preceding winter, owing to the narrow valleys leading to Har Ki Dun.
Transitioning into the summer months of April and May, the melting snow gradually transforms the landscape, with grasslands along the trail transitioning from brown to vibrant green. This period, also known as Spring, witnesses a profusion of flowers blooming in the woods and meadows, adding a colorful touch to the scenery.
March to June marks the peak season for the Har Ki Dun trek, offering ideal weather conditions and picturesque views. However, as the monsoon approaches, typically in late May, frequent showers become more prevalent in the valley, intensifying in late June. The lush greenery that ensues from the monsoon rains heralds the closure of the trek during the monsoon season.
September to November
In September, the Har Ki Dun valley welcomes trekkers once again, offering a serene experience with fewer crowds compared to spring and summer. The breathtaking views remain equally spectacular, making it an ideal time for those seeking solitude. As the monsoon season fades, the valley transforms into a lush green paradise, with clearer air providing enhanced vistas of the surrounding landscapes.
With the onset of autumn, temperatures begin to drop, accompanied by a refreshing crispness in the air. While high mountain peaks may witness occasional snowfall, the valley below sees the transition of vibrant greens to shades of brown, eventually turning golden in October and November.
The first snowfall typically graces the valley in mid-December, evoking a sense of wonder and excitement among trekkers. Building snowmen and engaging in snowball fights become cherished memories, etched in the hearts of adventurers.
At Roopkund Heaven, the trek season concludes by the end of November, as heavy snowfall accumulates, blocking trails beyond Kalkathiyadhar. Beyond this point, completing the trek becomes virtually impossible due to the deep snow cover, signaling the closure of the trek until the following season.
