Chopta is an all year round tourist destination. However if pilgrimage to Tungnath is your aim, visit between April to November when it is open.
Depending on what your aim is, you can choose your period between summers, winters or rainy season.
Summers
Chopta is lucky to have salubrious and pleasing weather in summers. The mild breeze clears the mist thereby making the Himalayas distinctly visible. The sun brings mild warmth during the day yet the evenings and nights are cold. Light woolens are a must in this climate too.
Monsoon
The mild drizzle washes the greens and the shining leaves transform the views tourists cannot forget. This welcome remains etched deep in the tourists’ mind and they easily get lost into the wilderness of nature. Landslides may block some roads and movements may come to a standstill. Even then the scenic beauty during monsoons is worth taking the risk. Lazing out with a cup of tea and browsing the snowcapped peaks is the favourite pastime. Raincoats are recommended as they make life easy.
Winters
Chopta turns into a mini Switzerland when snowfall takes over the entire mountains. Serenity and quiet solitude are their best during winters. Tourists just love the overall view and they trickle in during these chilly months. Chopta freezes in winters and heavy woolens are always recommended
