Monsoon & Autumn (July - November) – Avoid_DECLINE
Although many could argue that The Garwal should be trekked only during the monsoons, beginners or first-time trekkers must avoid the seasons all together.

We care for your safety and experience, and hence TrekYaari do not recommend Kedarkantha during monsoon and early autumn. Heavy rain can create slippery and dangerous conditions in the trails, and in the post-monsoon period, it takes the region time to stabilize.

TrekYaari Pro Tips for Best Time to go:

• Want Snow? The best time to trek here is from late December to mid-March.
  
  

• Prefer Comfortable Weather? Try mid-April to early June.
  
  

• Try not to go during monsoon season (July-September) as that’s the period of substantial landslides and poor trail conditions.
