State: Himachal Pradesh
Major Factors Affecting The Climate: Monsoons & Snowfall


The variance in climate is very much found in Himachal. From warm weather in the summer season in the months of April to mid-June to an extreme freezing point weather in the winter, between the months of November and February. Snowfall at elevations of about 3,000m is about 3mtrs during the winter months and about 4,500m is perpetual snow.

Rainy season becomes unbearable with dripping humidity of monsoons hitting the state between the months of June and September. The heavy rains in July and August cause damage to erosion, floods and landslides, so its better to avoid this season for travel in Himachal. One can enjoy the pleasant weather of this hilly region between the months of October and March
