Best Time to Visit
Exploring the Char Dham sites should happen between April and June and again from September to early November. At this time, the weather is mild, the temples are open and it's easy to drive along the roads. The monsoon months (July–August) should be avoided because they bring heavy rains and a risk of landslides. With fewer clouds and less people, there is plenty of opportunity for a restful pilgrimage after the rains.
Note: Make sure to see the opening dates of temples prior to your trip.
