Best Time to Visit for Char Dham Yatra
The Char Dham Yatra season typically opens in April–May (on Akshaya Tritiya) and closes in October–November (around Diwali). The best months to visit are May, June, September, and October when weather conditions are most favourable and routes are fully accessible.
Avoid July–August during the peak monsoon season as heavy rainfall can cause landslides and road disruptions, making travel risky. Always check the official portal for temple opening and closing dates before booking your tour.
