The best time for trekking in Ladakh is during the summer months from mid-June to mid-September. This period offers relatively milder temperatures, clear skies, and accessible trails due to the melting of snow. The weather is ideal for high-altitude treks like Markha Valley, Stok Kangri, and Sham Valley. The months of July and August are particularly popular as most routes are open and Ladakh Festival adds cultural vibrancy. However, it’s important to note that even in summer, nights can be chilly, and altitude acclimatization is essential. Winter and early spring are not recommended due to harsh weather and road closures.
