The best time to undertake the Sar Pass Trek is during the summer and post-monsoon seasons, which typically fall between May and October. Here’s a breakdown of the different seasons and their characteristics: Summer Season (May to June): This is the ideal time for the SarPass Trek, as the weather is pleasant with mild temperatures during the day and cool nights. The trails are usually clear of snow, allowing for a relatively easier trek. The meadows are in full bloom, offering vibrant landscapes and picturesque views. Monsoon Season (July to August): The monsoon season brings heavy rainfall to the region, making the trekking trails slippery and risky. It is not recommended to undertake the Sar Pass Trek during this time, as the chances of landslides and flash floods increase. Post-Monsoon Season (September to October): After the monsoon season, the weather starts to clear up, and the landscapes become lush green again. This period is considered the shoulder season for the SarPass Trek. The crowds are thinner compared to the summer season, and the weather remains favorable for trekking. However, towards October, temperatures start to drop, especially during the nights, so you should be prepared for colder conditions.
