Best time to visit Chail

The months from April to June and then September to October are mostly considered as the best time to visit Chail. Weather remains pleasant from April to June; neither too cold nor too warm. But the greenery at this time remains missing and some people may find the mountains around to be a bit dry and barren. July and August is not said to be a good time to visit because of the heavy rainfall and resulting landslides; but then this is truly the time when the vistas around are at their best.

September is by far my favorite time to visit Chail. In this month, Monsoon is long gone but the greenery is still there. The lush green hills and valleys are a feast for the eyes and weather has not yet gotten too cold.

For someone who wants to visit here to see some snow, a trip in the months of January or February will be best.
