Best time to do Brahmatal trek:

Spring (April to May):
  • During this season, the weather is milder, and the rhododendron forests are in full bloom, adding vibrant colors to the landscape. This period offers great visibility and comfortable trekking conditions.
Winter (December to March):
  • This is the ideal time for those looking to experience the trek in a snow-covered landscape. The trails are beautifully blanketed in snow, creating a serene and picturesque setting. However, temperatures can be quite low, so proper winter gear is essential.
Both seasons provide unique experiences, so your choice will depend on whether you prefer the snowy winter scenery or the blossoming beauty of spring.
