The ideal time to visit Chamera Lake in Dalhousie is between March and June. During these months, the weather is pleasantly cool with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 30°C. This season is perfect for tourists looking to escape the heat of the plains, as Dalhousie offers a refreshing climate and the lake is serenely calm, making it an ideal time for boating and sightseeing. The skies are mostly clear, providing a stunning view of the lake's deep blue water contrasted against the lush green scenery of the surrounding hills. Moreover, it's the peak season for tourism, so you can expect all touristic services to be operational.
Visiting outside the peak season, specifically from September to November, can also be quite pleasant. The monsoon season which lasts from July to September should typically be avoided due to heavy rainfall, which can lead to landslides and may disrupt travel plans. However, post-monsoon, the region's flora is in full bloom, adding to the lake's beauty, albeit with cooler temperatures, dipping as low as 10°C in the evenings. Do note that winter, from December to February, can be quite cold with temperatures occasionally dropping below freezing, which may not be suitable for lake activities but offers a chance to enjoy the serenity of the lake without the crowds.
