Summer is the peak tourist season in Himachal Pradesh. It's ideal for adventure sports, trekking, paragliding, and other outdoor activities.

Monsoon (July to September)

Himachal Pradesh experiences monsoon from July to September. While the landscapes are lush and green during this time, heavy rainfall can lead to landslides and travel disruptions. If you enjoy the monsoon ambience and want to experience the off-season charm, you might consider visiting
