Best time to visit Himachal Pradesh

Himachal changes sharply by region and season. Shimla, Manali and Dharamshala are good from March to June and again in autumn. Winter brings snow to the higher towns. Spiti and the high valleys are generally open only from about June to October, once the roads clear.

The monsoon from July to September can cause landslides and road closures, particularly on the highways, so build in buffer days and check conditions before travelling.

Pick a circuit that fits your days

Trying to see everything in one trip leads to long drives. Common circuits are Shimla with Kufri and Narkanda, Manali with Kasol and the Parvati Valley, Dharamshala with McLeod Ganj and Bir, and the high-altitude Spiti Valley circuit.

Mountain roads are slow, so plan on a few hours between most places. Hire a driver familiar with the roads rather than driving yourselves, especially in snow or rain.

A sample 7-day Himachal friends trip

Days 1 and 2: Shimla or Kasauli for colonial-era streets and cool weather. Days 3 and 4: Manali for Solang Valley and Old Manali. Days 5 and 6: Kasol and the Parvati Valley for riverside walks, cafes and short treks.

Day 7: return via Kullu or Bhuntar. If you prefer a slower trip, choose two bases instead of four. Spiti needs a separate, longer plan with acclimatisation.
