Best Time To Visit Uttarkashi

Although vacationers prefer to stay away from Uttarkashi during the monsoon season, the enchantment that rainstorms bring to this holy town creates an unrealistic sight. Trees are greener, skies are bright blue and the entire region is dominated by the vibrant display of vivid hues, washed anew by the refreshing downpours. With decent amounts of rainfall, the monsoon season begins in Uttarkashi in July and proceeds until September. Apart from carrying umbrellas and raincoats, packing cotton garments and light woollens is recommended. Local sightseeing gets affected because of the slushy mud. Landslides and roadblocks are widespread during this time, which is why one should be careful while moving around. Nonetheless, it is an excellent time to witness many festivals celebrated in Uttarkashi.

Summers in Uttarkashi start from March and lasts until June, with temperatures floating around 15 to 30 degree Celsius. To be comfortable during the warm days and cool evenings of the season, carrying cotton clothing and light woollens would prove to be beneficial. The extended days of the summer season are ideal for trekking in Uttarkashi. It is the perfect time for witnessing the first deodar trees in their dark green tint and blossoming flowers in beautiful hues embellishing the ground. The daytime is considered suitable for local sightseeing while tourists revel outdoors well past midnight.
