Best Time to Visit Jana Waterfall

The best time to reach Jana waterfall is between September and June which is the winter season in Manali. The temperature drops immensely during this season making the trek a little challenging. March to May is summertime, and June is the onset of monsoons. The days are pleasant throughout, and the water in the waterfall pool is a decent temperature for tourists to take a dip. The region is susceptible to landslides during monsoon. It is highly recommended that tourists avoid exploring the waterfall during monsoons.

Tips

1. Tourists can reach the waterfall on two-wheelers although it is not recommended as the region has a rugged and rocky landscape.
2. Some stalls near the waterfall sell local snacks. A piping hot plate of Maggi and a nice hot cup of chai is a must-have here. Picnickers can carry snacks and beverages along with them if required.
3. Wear decent trekking shoes as the trekking trail is rocky and uneven.
4. The electricity is cut off in the area after 7:00 PM. So, make sure to return before.
