Best Time to Visit Pindari Glacier Trek

Summer (Mid-March to Mid-June):

Perhaps the best time to go for trekking as trekkers can easily brave the weather.

Monsoon (Mid June- September):

During the monsoon season, the trails remain closed, and trekkers should strictly avoid going to trekking during monsoon because hazards like rain, landslide and road blockage can make it tough to make through the route.

Spring (September to late October):

Pleasant weather is what trekkers can expect during the spring season.

Winter (October to Mid March):

Temperature can drop as low as (-10) °C, thus there are chances of snowfall due to which roads remain closed.
