Himalayan treks & trips in April 2027
Rhododendron season: Chanderkhani, Malana, Tirthan and the first camps
April opens the mid-altitude trails — Chanderkhani Pass, Malana, Dev Ropa, Patalsu — while the meadows above 3,500 m are still under snow. Summer camps start for the school holidays, Bir Billing paragliding is in its spring peak, and the Lahaul valley becomes drivable through Sissu to Keylong.
