More about Best Time to Travel to Kargil

Kargil in Summer (March - June)

This is the best season for a trip to Kargil. The days are warm with cool nights; the temperatures going as low as 13 degrees Celcius. This is the time when National Highway 1 D, which connects Srinagar and Leh, is officially opened for travellers.

Kargil in Winter (October - February)

This is the least ideal season for a visit to Kargil, with freezing winds ready to peel off your skin. November onwards, the travel influx drops down steadily as temperatures can go as low as -50 degrees Celcius. With the chilly weather, most of the roads leading to Kargil are also closed down during these months.

Kargil in Monsoon (July - September)
