The optimal time to visit Chilly Falls in Berinag, Uttarakhand, is during the post-monsoon months of October to November. During this period, the water levels are just right for the falls to be lively without the monsoon-related risks such as landslides. The verdant landscape glistens with freshness, and the clear skies offer magnificent views of the Himalayan peaks. Daytime temperatures are comfortable for outdoor activities, generally ranging between 10°C to 20°C. The nights can be cool, providing a pleasant atmosphere for cozy campfires or tranquil evenings admiring the starry sky. This is also a perfect time for photographers and nature enthusiasts to capture the scenic beauty of the falls amidst the vibrant autumn hues.
If you are keen on experiencing a cooler climate and don't mind the cold, the early summer between April to June can also be a great time to explore Chilly Falls. The temperatures during this season are mild, allowing for pleasant day hikes and outdoor explorations around Berinag. This is the time when rhododendrons bloom, adding splashes of colors to the landscape. However, please note that June marks the beginning of the monsoon season with occasional pre-monsoon showers, so it's advisable to keep an eye on the weather forecasts and plan your trip accordingly to avoid heavy rains that typically commence in July.
