Best time to go for Champa Devi Hiking
Hiking Champa Devi has been done for around a year. Though there are a few months when the hiker trackers recommend skipping due to inclement weather. The monsoon season and the months of winter are not recommended for hiking on the Champa Devi trail. We don’t suggest you go during June, July, August, January, or February for hiking in Champadevi. Lots of encounters with leeches and some snails during the monsoon month while we are hiking. And in winter, the hill remains foggy, so due to this, hikers can’t enjoy the view of the valley along with the mountains.
