Summer (May–Sept): Best time to visit ☀️ Roads open, pleasant weather, all routes & passes accessible.
Autumn (Oct): Clear skies 🍂 but colder nights, fewer tourists.
Winter (Nov–March): Harsh ❄️ – heavy snow, many routes closed, only Leh accessible by flight. Great for the Chadar trek.
Spring (April): Transition 🌸 – melting snow, roads start reopening late April–May.
👉 Ideal season for travellers: May to September.
