Himalayan treks & trips in November 2026
Diwali getaways, autumn gold and the first Kedarkantha snow
November is clear, cold and under-rated. Diwali week fills Manali, Tirthan and Prashar Lake tours, the lower Kullu treks — Malana, Chanderkhani, Dev Ropa — have perfect weather, Bir Billing is at its paragliding best, and the first snow usually reaches the Kedarkantha summit by month-end. High passes are closed; Lahaul stays open through the tunnel.
