The best time to visit the Budher Caves in Chakrata, Uttarakhand is during the transition seasons of spring (March to June) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the weather is generally pleasant with a moderate climate, making it perfect for trekking and exploring the caves. Summers in Chakrata offer a respite from the scorching heat of the plains, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 30°C. The days are usually warm and sunny while evenings can be a bit cooler, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
However, autumn has its own charm with clear skies and a fresh breeze. The post-monsoon period sees the landscape at its greenest with blooming flowers and lush foliage, providing mesmerizing views. Temperatures during this time are comfortable, hovering around 10°C to 20°C. This is also the period just before the onset of the harsh winters, when the region experiences heavy snowfall and may become inaccessible. Hence, tourists are advised to avoid visiting from December to February due to the extreme cold and potential road blockages caused by snow.
