Garhwal · Western Himalaya & Trans-Himalaya

भूभाग और पारिस्थितिक अंचल

Four climates stacked vertically within 150 km. The Doon at 650 m is humid subtropical and takes over 2,000 mm of rain; the middle hills at 1,500–2,000 m are temperate with occasional winter snow; above 3,000 m the season is short and the ground is under snow from November to April; and north of the Great Himalayan crest the monsoon is largely blocked and the valleys are arid. The monsoon is the region's hazard rather than its blessing — the rock is young, the slopes are steep, and July to mid-September is landslide season.

भू-आकृतियाँ

Shivalik front and the Main Boundary Thrust, where the hills begin abruptly out of the plainBhabar — a gravel apron where surface streams disappear undergroundThe Doon, a longitudinal structural valley filled with old river deposit between the Shivalik and the Lesser HimalayaLesser Himalayan ridges carrying terraced cultivation, banj oak and chir pineBugyals — alpine meadows above the treeline, grazed in summer and empty the rest of the yearGreat Himalayan peaks including Nanda Devi, Kamet, Chaukhamba, Trisul, Bandarpunch and the Gangotri groupGlaciers — Gangotri, Khatling, Milam's western neighbours and the Satopanth–Bhagirath Kharak system

नदियाँ और जलाशय

Bhagirathi — from Gaumukh at the snout of the Gangotri glacier, and the stream the ritual tradition calls the GangaAlaknanda — from the Satopanth and Bhagirath Kharak glaciers, and by volume the larger of the twoMandakini — the Kedarnath river, joining at RudraprayagDhauliganga, Nandakini and Pindar — the three other Panch Prayag tributariesBhilangana — dammed with the Bhagirathi at TehriYamuna and Tons — the western drainage, with the Tons carrying more water than the Yamuna at their junctionSong, Asan and the Nayar — the Doon and lower-hill streams

साल भर

मौसममहीनेसामान्यकैसा रहता है
WinterNovember–March-10 to 18 °C depending entirely on altitudeThe shrines are shut and their deities are worshipped in their winter villages. Villages above 2,000 m cut fodder and live off stored grain. This is when Pandav Lila is staged, because there is time.
SpringMarch–April5–25 °CBuransh — rhododendron — flowers on the middle slopes and is pressed into a sharp red drink. The Char Dham doors open around Akshaya Tritiya, and the road economy restarts.
SummerMay–June15–35 °CPeak pilgrim season and peak grazing season at once. Flocks and their herders move up to the bugyals; the Doon is uncomfortably hot and Mussoorie fills with people escaping it.
MonsoonJuly–mid September18–30 °CThe dangerous season. Roads are cut, the rivers run brown and high, and the 2013 Kedarnath disaster is the reference point everyone uses. Fields are transplanted and weeded; travel is a bad idea.
AutumnLate September–October8–25 °CThe clearest air of the year and the best walking. The shrines close around Bhai Dooj and the high valleys empty out.

घूमने का सबसे अच्छा समयMid-April to mid-June and late September to early November. The high shrines are physically inaccessible outside roughly May to October, and the mid-monsoon window is genuinely unsafe on the pilgrim roads rather than merely inconvenient.
