The most opportune time to visit Sukhna Lake in Mohali is from October to March, the winter months in the region. During this period, the weather remains pleasant and conducive for outdoor activities such as boating, strolling along the promenade, or bird-watching. Particularly in the early mornings, visitors can enjoy the serene ambiance and cooler temperatures, which make it perfect for a jog or a calm sit by the lake. As the lake attracts migratory birds, winter months are also ideal for bird enthusiasts to catch a glimpse of rare species. Festivities such as the Chandigarh Carnival and New Year celebrations add to the charm of visiting during these months.
In contrast, the summer months, from April to June, can be extremely hot with temperatures rising well above 35°C, making daytime outings less comfortable. The monsoon season from July to September brings rainfall to the region, which can sometimes lead to humid conditions, but also offers a lush, verdant landscape. Evening visits during the monsoon might be particularly refreshing as the area cools down after the rains. However, for the most comfortable experience, with minimal climatic extremes and maximized potential for enjoying all the recreational activities Sukhna Lake has to offer, winter is the definitive time to plan your visit.
