The ideal time to visit Sattal in Uttarakhand is during the spring months of March to June when the weather is pleasantly warm, and nature is at its full bloom. The average temperature during this period ranges from 15°C to 30°C. This is the perfect climate for outdoor activities like bird watching, boating, and hiking. The lakes are full and serene, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers, providing visitors with picturesque vistas. As Sattal is known for its diverse avian population, springtime also attracts bird enthusiasts from all over, due to the favorable conditions for bird migration and nesting.
Alternatively, the post-monsoon months of September to November also make for a good time to visit as the weather is cool and refreshing with minimal rainfall. The temperature during these months typically ranges from 10°C to 20°C. During this season, the landscape is still lush from the monsoon rain, and the clear skies offer stunning views of the Himalayan range. This period is also suitable for tourists who prefer lesser crowds, as it is just before the onset of the peak tourist season. However, visitors should be aware that winters can be quite cold in Sattal, and the region experiences heavy rainfall during the monsoon between July and August, which may hinder outdoor activities.
