Located at the foothills of the Himalayas and part of the tri-city region alongside Chandigarh and Mohali, Panchkula is a place that boasts of beautiful weather almost all year round. However, the best time to visit Panchkula is during the cooler months, from October to March. During this period, the weather remains pleasant with the temperatures varying between 8°C and 22°C. Winter months are ideal for exploring the city's parks, such as the Cactus Garden, and for outdoor activities like going to the Morni Hills, which is famous for its lakes and lush greenery. The cool climate ensures a comfortable experience as you indulge in sightseeing and cultural exploration.
It's important to note that the months from April to June mark the summer season where the temperature can soar up to 40°C, making it a tad uncomfortable for tourists. On the other hand, monsoon season starts from late June and continues until September and can lead to humid conditions, although the greenery is at its most vibrant during this time. Nonetheless, for a trip that includes comfortable outdoor activities and the optimal enjoyment of Panchkula’s scenic beauty, sticking to the autumn and winter seasons is recommended. The vibrant festival of Holi (March) and the cool, celebratory atmosphere during Diwali (October/November) are especially enchanting times to experience local culture and festivities.
