The best time for the Kedarnath trek is between May and June, and then from September to October. During these months, the weather is pleasant, and the trekking conditions are favorable. Monsoon season (July to August) should be avoided due to heavy rainfall, which makes the trails slippery and increases the risk of landslides. Winter months (November to April) bring heavy snowfall, making the trek extremely difficult and even impossible at times. Pilgrims and trekkers prefer summer and post-monsoon months as they offer clear views, comfortable temperatures, and safer trekking paths leading to the Kedarnath temple.
