Kalinchowk Jiri Tour

Best Time to Visit

• Spring (March-May) is considered the best time to visit Kalinchowk Jiri, with clear mountain views, comfortable temperatures, and blooming rhododendrons creating a colorful landscape. It's the best time to explore temples and conduct outdoor activities, and hence, totally appropriate for sightseeing and photo shoots. 

• The summer season (June-August) is characterized by pleasant weather and dense greenery in the hills, but with an occasional shower or two. One feels one's best during the summer season, with the terraced fields being greener than ever and the waterfalls looking their most beautiful. 

• Autumn (Sept-Nov) provides unrestricted hill views and settled weather, but it is not an ideal time for the tour. Post-monsoon clarity provides one with some of the best Himalayan views and decent touring weather.

• Winter (December-February) provides Kalinchowk with a winter wonderland view and provides one with a completely different but fulfilling experience. As cold as it can become, snow-white vistas provide picture postcard views and an uncommon mountain experience.
