June to October: The best time to trek at Chandrakhani Pass in Himachal Pradesh, is from June to October. During this period, the weather is calm, and you can enjoy beautiful views of the Himalayan ranges.
Always checking the weather forecast before planning your trip is important because sometimes monsoons can make the trek slippery. Trekking during the winter season, from late October to May, is not recommended.
You can also take the advice from Broza Adventures before planning the trekking trip with them.
The Chandrakhani pass is covered in snow during this time, making the trek difficult and dangerous due to disbalance and extreme cold. Facilities for trekkers are usually closed, and there are better times for trekking.
As the snow melts in late spring (April and May), before the monsoon season, the meadows start rising with alpine flowers. While trekking is still possible during this season, the weather could be more predictable, and there may be snow at higher altitudes. When planning your journey, think about your comfort level with changing weather and your trekking experience at high altitudes.

In just 2 days, you will climb from 6,745 feet in Sarsai to 12,185 feet at your destination.
However, the trek through the forest is often relatively easy. As you approach the pass, the heavy stones get more challenging. You also have to trek nearly 3 miles on a ridge at a high altitude.
In addition, the pass-crossing day consists of a nearly 9-hour trek.
This makes the trek moderately challenging. People who are fit but new to trekking will find it easy.
You will require at least 4 weeks of good training for this trek. To start preparing, you can work on your cardio by walking and then jogging. At the beginning of the walk, your goal should be to travel 5 km in 35 minutes easily.
