Pleasant days, cool nights, clear views. Great for sightseeing and cafes. Pack a light jacket for evenings.

Comfortable in the hills while plains are hot. Book hotels/cabs early; carry light woollens for night views and early mornings.

Rain, landslide risk, road closures can happen. If you must travel, keep buffer days and prefer day travel.

Crisp air, clear skies, fewer crowds. Nights get cold—carry layers.

Best for snow experiences, but temperatures drop sharply. Roads to higher points may close; carry heavy woollens.

Crowds + higher prices. Confirm vehicle availability in advance and start early to avoid traffic.
