More about Best Time to Travel to Manikaran Sahib

Manikaran Sahib in Summer (April-June)

The summers in Manikaran are like the rest of the year, extremely cold. However, these months of April to June are much more bearable than the monsoon or winter months. The temperature during the summer months ranges from 6 degree Celsius to 15 degree Celsius which means that carrying essentials for the weather conditions is mandatory. The heat from the hot springs make the frigid temperatures of Manikaran much more bearable as well, so visiting the town during the summer months may be one of the best and most ideal times to sightsee and explore Manikaran.

Manikaran Sahib in Winter (October-March)

The frigid winters in Manikaran that last from November to March are perhaps the most non- idealistic times to visit the town. During these months, Manikaran is left in a dull gloom which is hard to overlook due to the sheets of snow that press into the ground and leave it almost inaccessible. Although, this abundance of snow also means that skiing is a preferred activity during the winter season. The temperature in Manikaran in the winters reaches as low as -8 degree Celsius which hinders tourists from venturing into the cold, teeth chattering weather.

Manikaran Sahib in Monsoon (July-September)

The monsoons in Manikaran last from July to September and the temperature during these months does not cross a maximum of 10 degree Celsius. Manikaran also receives an average annual rainfall of 200mm, which is entirely received during these months. This means that there is more often than not, a cascade of rain that falls in spurts all over this town, during the monsoon season. Since rains may hinder your travel plans, it's best advised not to visit Manikaran during this time. However, Manikaran?s natural beauty shines forth due to the continuous rainfall that leaves the town to bask in a luminous glow which is what attracts a lot of tourists during this period.
