Himachal sees a good amount of snowfall in the months of December, January and February in many towns of Himachal. Manali, Nakansa, Kufri and Shimla get covered under a thick blanket of snow and Rohtang and Keylong remain frozen almost all through the year. Along with adoring heavy snow fall, visitors can also indulge in exciting adventure sports such as snow skiing and heli-skiing.

Spring has its treasures and for a land rich in flowering trees, it’s the time to savour the heavy aromatic air of blooming orchard laden landscapes across many valleys and hilly slopes of Himachal Pradesh. Spring that breaks out in lower valleys in February-March, slowly moves into higher altitudes with a great awakening in Kinnaur, Lahaul-Spiti and parts of Chamba taking place as late as June.

Escape from the sweltering summer heat and visit Himachal, the coolest summer getaway. Hike in the dense alpine forests or feel at the top of the world on the frosty snow clad peaks, Himachal with its awe-inspiring charm and beauty and vast array of hill stations can make any other summer retreat look pale in comparison. With such popular summer retreats as Shimla, Kulu Manali, Dalhousie and Dharamshala in its repertoire, the land charmed erstwhile officials of the British Raj and the magic continues.

Autumn is that time of the year when Himachal witnesses a rich colour blast of crimson and golden. The valleys prepare a warm welcome for the approaching winters. Autumn is a much awaited season for adventure lovers as many activities are conducted in this season. As a way to bid summer adieu and make way for winters, many festivals are observed during this season.
