Best Time to Visit Chopta Tungnath

Chopta Tungnath During April to June

April to June is the summer season and the best time to visit Chopta Tungnath. During this time, there will be no snowfall or rainfall, and the mountains will be lush green due to spring. The best attraction on the way to Tungnath is the Burhans (Rhododendron) forests full of millions of red flowers. During this time, the Tungnath Temple opens after winter closure.


Chopta Tungnath During September to October

September to October is the post-monsoon season, but you can expect scant rainfall around this time. After the monsoon, the surroundings will be cleaner and greener. But due to cloud cover, the visibility can be low. During this season, this area becomes prone to landslides, and that’s why tourist footfall remains low during this season.

Chopta Tungnath During November to March

The Himalayas reach their peak beauty during the winter. The snow-capped and snow-covered meadows glow with bright sunlight, creating a magical ambience. The temperature during this time reaches well below the freezing point, but if you love winter in the mountains, this is the ideal time for you to undertake the Chopta Tungnath Trek.
