Best Time to Visit for Shimla - Spiti - Leh Jeep Safari
- Summer (May to Mid - June) : The best time to explore Shimla and Kinnaur is when the snow begins to melt. However, high passes like Kunzum La remain closed, blocking access to Leh.
- Monsoon / Peak Season (Late June to September) : The ideal time for the complete Shimla-Spiti-Leh jeep safari tour is the monsoon. All passes are open. Both Spiti and Ladakh are in the rain shadow zone, ensuring no rains despite the fact that in other parts of the country it is raining heavily. Early September offers clear skies and safer crossings.
- Winter (October to April) : Heavy snowfall blocks routes to Ladakh and upper Spiti. Access to the valley is limited from Shimla to Kaza, making it a remote, snow-covered paradise for experienced travellers.
