Gadsar Lake

The best time to visit Gadsar Lake is from July to September, when the snow has melted and the trails are open. During this period, the weather is pleasant, the sky is mostly clear, and the valley blooms with alpine flowers. This is also the only time the lake is accessible, as it remains frozen and covered in snow the rest of the year. Monsoon is mild in this region, but checking the weather forecast before the trek is recommended. Avoid visiting during winter or early spring as routes are blocked and conditions are dangerous for trekking.
