Do Dham Yatra—covering Kedarnath and Badrinath, two of the most sacred shrines in Uttarakhand:

🗓️ Best Time to Visit – Season-Wise Breakdown

🌸 Summer (Late May to June)

• Why it’s ideal: This is the peak pilgrimage season. The weather is pleasant, snow begins to melt, and both temples are fully accessible.
• Kedarnath: Trekking conditions are safest in June, with clear skies and moderate temperatures.
• Badrinath: Roads are open, and the valleys are lush and scenic.
• Tip: Book accommodations and transport early—this is the busiest time.

🌧️ Monsoon (July to Mid-September)

• Why to avoid: Heavy rainfall leads to landslides, slippery trekking paths, and frequent road closures.
• Kedarnath: The 16 km trek from Gaurikund becomes risky.
• Badrinath: Though accessible by road, travel delays are common.
• Tip: Not recommended unless you’re prepared for unpredictable conditions.

🍂 Autumn (Mid-September to October)

• Why it’s beautiful: Post-monsoon freshness, clear skies, and fewer crowds make this a peaceful time for darshan.
• Kedarnath & Badrinath: Both temples remain open, and the Himalayan views are stunning.
• Tip: Ideal for photography, reflection, and a more relaxed pace.

❄️ Winter (November to April)

• Why it’s closed: Both temples shut down due to heavy snowfall. The deities are moved to Ukhimath (Kedarnath) and Joshimath (Badrinath) for winter worship.
• Tip: You can still visit the winter shrines, but the main Yatra is not possible.

✅ Summary:

• Best time to visit: Late May to June and Mid-September to October
