The best time for trekking in Himachal Pradesh depends on the trek and the season you prefer. Here’s a breakdown of the ideal trekking seasons:

1. Summer & Spring (March to June) – Best for Most Treks

✅ Best For: Low to mid-altitude treks (8,000 - 14,000 ft)
🌿 Weather: Pleasant, clear skies, blooming flowers, and lush green landscapes
🏕 Best Treks in This Season:

• Triund Trek
• Bhrigu Lake Trek
• Beas Kund Trek
• Hampta Pass Trek
• Malana Trek
• Prashar Lake Trek

🔹 Why? This is the most popular trekking season, as the snow starts melting, making trails accessible while still offering snow-capped peaks in the distance.

2. Monsoon (July to September) – Best for High-Altitude Treks

✅ Best For: High-altitude treks (above 14,000 ft) in rain-shadow areas like Spiti & Lahaul
🌧 Weather: Moderate to heavy rainfall in lower regions; dry & cool in high-altitude areas
🏕 Best Treks in This Season:

• Pin Parvati Pass Trek
• Chandratal Lake Trek
• Hampta Pass Trek
• Indrahar Pass Trek

🔹 Why? While lower-altitude treks can be risky due to landslides, treks in Spiti, Lahaul, and high-altitude passes are ideal as they remain dry.

3. Autumn (September to November) – Best for Clear Views

✅ Best For: Mid to high-altitude treks with breathtaking views
🍁 Weather: Crisp, cool air, clear skies, stunning golden-brown landscapes
🏕 Best Treks in This Season:

• Indrahar Pass Trek

🔹 Why? Autumn offers some of the clearest views of the Himalayas, with minimal rainfall and fewer crowds.

4. Winter (December to February) – Best for Snow Treks

✅ Best For: Snow treks and winter adventure lovers
❄ Weather: Heavy snowfall, extremely cold, frozen lakes
🏕 Best Treks in This Season:

• Triund Winter Trek
