Summer and winter are also suitable for the Dhampus Sarangkot Trek. Temperatures will be moderate throughout the year. Each season offers you a different view of the landscapes of the region.
Dhampus Sarangkot is the best trekking route almost all year round. The change of seasons does not influence the roads and trails. However, the rainy season and heavy falls prevent you from enjoying the beautiful view of the mountains. The spring seasons, from March to May, and the autumn season, from September to November, are the best times to enjoy nature and the pleasant atmosphere with magnificent and crystal unobstructed mountain views. On sunny days it is best to enjoy the panoramic view of the Himalayas. These seasons are also ideal for hiking in the magnificent natural splendour. During the monsoon, the hills and mountains are only slightly hidden behind thick fog and clouds, and the same is true in winter.
