The ideal time to visit Tandi, where the majestic Chandra and Bhaga rivers merge to form the Chenab, is during the summer months, from late May to early October. During this period, the high mountain passes, such as Rohtang Pass and Kunzum Pass, that provide access to Lahaul Valley, are generally open and clear of snow. The weather in Tandi during these months is relatively mild with daytime temperatures ranging between 15°C to 20°C. Road conditions are stable, making it easier for travelers to explore the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the region. The melting snow leads to the rivers being full and vibrant, offering a picturesque setting for photography enthusiasts.
July and August might see occasional monsoonal influences, but generally, the area experiences less rainfall compared to the more southerly regions of Himachal Pradesh. This is the perfect time for river activities, trekking, and exploring the local Buddhist monasteries that are accessible during these months. However, if you are looking to experience the cultural extravaganza, the annual Ladarcha Fair in July is a notable event you may want to time your visit with. It's essential to stay updated with local travel advisories as weather patterns can change and affect travel plans, even during the peak tourist season.
