Best Time for Thamri Kund Lake Trek — Month-by-Month Guide
A phenomenal vantage point in Munsiyari.
Seasonal Verdict
When should you go?
A phenomenal vantage point in Munsiyari. October to December offers the sharpest views of the Panchachuli range, while spring brings vibrant rhododendron blooms. The monsoon destroys visibility and infests the trails with leeches.
Season at a Glance
Editor's Notes
Do not attempt this in August. The Munsiyari road is terrifying and frequently washed out. A 10 hour drive will turn into a 30 hour nightmare.
