Ukhimath Temple, situated in the beautiful Chopta region of Uttarakhand, serves as a significant pilgrimage destination, particularly for devotees of Lord Shiva. The best time to visit Ukhimath Temple is during the months of May to November. This period avoids the severe winter when the temple often becomes inaccessible due to heavy snowfall. The summer months, from May to June, offer a comforting climate with temperatures ranging between 10°C to 30°C, making it an ideal time for sightseeing and participation in religious activities.
The onset of the monsoon from July to September brings about lush greenery and rejuvenates the valley, however, visitors should be cautious as the region could be prone to landslides and travel may be hindered. Post-monsoon, from October to November, the weather is pleasant and the surroundings are vibrant, which makes it a preferred time for trekking and enjoying the serene beauty of the region. During the winters, from December to April, the deity from Kedarnath is worshipped in Ukhimath Temple as Kedarnath Temple remains closed, attracting devotees despite the cold weather. Hence, if you wish to witness this unique ritual and don't mind the cold, winter could also be a good time for you to visit.
