The ideal time to visit Pathankot is during the winter season, which spans from October to March. During these months, the weather is pleasantly cool, and the temperatures range from a minimum of about 4 degrees Celsius to a maximum of around 20 degrees Celsius. This period is perfect for sightseeing and engaging in outdoor activities as the heat of the summer is gone, and the chill in the air is invigorating. The winter season also hosts several cultural festivals, offering visitors a chance to experience local traditions and festivities.
Moreover, visiting Pathankot in the early spring, especially in the month of February, can be quite enjoyable as well when the climate is moderate before the onset of the hot summer. During this time, the natural beauty around Pathankot, including the Shivalik Hills and the lush greenery, is at its peak after the winter rains. However, tourists should avoid the summer months from April to June when temperatures can soar above 40 degrees Celsius, making outdoor activities uncomfortable. The monsoon season from July to September brings heavy rainfall which may lead to transportation issues, thus it is less recommended for travel.
