The summer season, from April to June, is relatively mild and ideal for those seeking a Gaddi Trails escape from the heat of the plains. Temperatures range from a comfortable 20°C to 24°C, with cooler nights adding to the charm. This period showcases the surrounding flora in full bloom, enhancing the beauty of the landscapes, perfect for Kangra Valley retreats and unique travel experiences.

The monsoon arrives in July and lasts until September, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall. While some travelers prefer to avoid this season due to the risk of landslides, others are captivated by the lush, misty mountains and the refreshed greenery that the rain brings. During this time, temperatures hover around 20-23°C.

Winter, from December to February, offers a contrasting experience. The weather turns crisp and cold, with temperatures dropping as low as 0°C or even below. This season calls for heavy woollens and cozy evenings, ideal for those looking to embrace the winter charm.
