spring (Mar-May), although Dec-Feb can be little too cold for trekking.
Autumn and spring are the most popular seasons as the climate is most
favorable, with warm to hot days and cool to cold evening \ nights.
Monsoon ( June-Aug) is rather hot with rainfall most of days and nights,
but still suitable for visiting the sight in the valley plus acquiring a
suntan. Trekking is still possible, but trails can be slippery plus a
few leeches around.
