Diwali falls in late October or November — the clearest, crispest weeks of the Himalayan year. Manali, Tirthan and Prashar Lake tours fill with families; Malana, Chanderkhani and Dev Ropa treks have perfect weather; Kedarkantha's season begins; and in an early-Diwali year, the last Spiti and Ladakh departures are still running.

Why these trips

  • Peak-clarity weather: best mountain views of the year
  • Autumn colour in Kullu, Tirthan and Kangra
  • Family tours and short treks on the same dates
