Rafting Seasons
Rafting Season starts at Rishikesh from 15th September to
30th June, At Manali Summers are best time to raft,Generally
rafting is closed in north India during Monsoon, but at Jim
Corbett National Park it can be enjoyed during Monsoon.
Spread over a width of an average 250 kms the weather varies
dramatically over different regions. The weather in the
subcontinent is almost entirely dependent on the ‘monsoons’,
winds blowing from the southwest of India and the adjacent areas
bringing heavy rainfall in the continent, typically in the
months of June to September.
Summer, mid March to end June, known as the pre-monsoon season
is the one of the best time to trek and climb as there are long
days of nice, pleasant weather. The snow lines are quite low
early on in this season as the winter snow just starts to melt.
Monsoon, early July to Mid September, is when the entire country
(except the Trans Himalayas – Lahaul Spiti in Himachal and
Ladakh) is drenched with rain water and covered with thick
envelope of clouds. Perfect time to be in the TransHimalayan
land as it wakes up after a long cold winter.
Autumn, the post- monsoon season starts by late September and
carries on till end November. Since everything is washed out in
the monsoons and it is relatively cooler this period offers
clear views of the mountain ranges.
Winter is quite severe all across the Himalayas, especially in
the higher reaches. It generally arrives by early December and
continues till mid March. Good time to be in the Lesser
Himalayas to get the sparkling clear distant views.
