It’s usually suggested to stay away from these areas during India’s busiest winter season because winter wreaks havoc there every year.
Winter may be the best time to visit some locations, but not all.
Here is our list of a few locations that, in order to prevent any catastrophes, you shouldn’t plan to visit from November until the middle of February.
Kedarnath
Since the temple opens in May after receiving a considerable amount of heavy snowfall, it is the most popular tourist attraction during the summer. And a month later, it closes once more because of persistent rain. Unpredictable rainstorms might cause a landslide at the Kedarnath shrine and ultimately force transportation to the mountain’s summit. That’s why it is advisable that you should visit Kedarnath during the summer season and avoid winters.
Srinagar
The elevation of Srinagar is 1,585 meters. This stunning city, which is situated along the banks of the Jhelum river, is well-known for its culture and natural beauty. Srinagar, the city of the nation’s coldest state, is the location of the renowned Dal Lake. Many well-known mosques and temples can be found in Srinagar, including the congregational mosque Jamia Masjid, which dates back to the 15th century. It is regarded as Kashmir’s biggest mosque. The charming town of Gulmarg, which is close to Kashmir, provides magnificent views of the Vale of Kashmir and of Nanga Parbat, one of the highest peaks in the Himalayas.
Leh Ladakh
Leh is a very well-liked vacation spot. The area is quite culturally and historically rich. In the summer, the temperature rises to 7°C. The numerous monasteries and lakes in Leh make it a must-see destination. At a height of 3000 metres above sea level, Leh is also home to the highest human settlement. At 11,000 feet above sea level, Ladakh’s magnetic gravity hills provide for a stunning spectacle. Therefore, the best time to visit is June to September.
Lachen And Thangli Valley
North Sikkim is home to some of the most stunning Himalayan peaks covered in snow. The Lachen and Thangu Valleys are the two coldest locations in Northern Sikkim that you can visit. At 2,500 metres above sea level, Lachen and Thangu Valley experience subzero temperatures. The year-round temperature is essentially stable.
