Manali, a picturesque hill station located in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, is a year-round destination with each season offering a unique experience. However, the best time to visit Manali is generally considered to be from October to June. During these months the weather is pleasantly cool and is considered ideal for sightseeing, adventure sports, and enjoying the scenic beauty. October marks the end of monsoon and the beginning of autumn when the landscape is painted with a riot of colors. This is followed by winters that stretch from November to February, blanketing the town with snow, making it perfect for snow-based activities like skiing and snowboarding.
Spring, from March to June, injects new life into Manali with blossoming flowers and a lush green environment. This season is perfect for trekkers and those interested in outdoor activities like paragliding, rafting, and mountain biking. Temperatures during spring range between 10°C to 25°C, making it comfortable for exploring the attractions like the Hidimba Devi Temple, Solang Valley, and Manu Temple. Additionally, summer is a great time to escape the heat of the plains, with Manali serving as a cool retreat.
