Best Time to Visit Kheerganga

The best time to visit Parvati Valley is April to June in summers and then from September to November post-monsoon. At this time, weather conditions remain pleasant, which makes the sight seen more enjoyable under the clear sky with lush green surroundings. During the monsoon, Parvati Valley receives heavy rainfall and maybe chances of rainstorms & road blockages, so it is not safe to visit there. When the winter falls in full swing, then the whole area covered with a thick sheet of snow and climatic conditions are not suitable due to extreme cold. The roads remain closed due to heavy snow.
