Best Season and time to do Singalila Phoktey Dara Trek

There are two distinct seasons for doing Singalila Phoktey Dara Trek. Mid-March, April to May (Spring) and Mid-September, October to November (Autumn).

One can do these Treks in other months of the year as well however the possibilities of extreme cold, rainfalls, snowfalls, and clouds remain higher in those months.

Each season has its charm and feelings while trekking in the Singalila Phoktey Dara region as it houses many vibrant varieties of flora amidst its forest. Spring is known for its romantic look while Autumn is loved for its sharp and clear views.

The beauty of this trek lies in witnessing the blooming Rhododendron, especially in April till the first week of May. The forest on Singalila Phoktey Dara Trek comes alive with the colors of pink and scarlet rhododendron flowers and a few other rare varieties.

The main Rhododendron belts start from around Uttarey to Aachalay, Hangeypani, Guranshey Dara, Thulo Dhap to Kalijhar, and further to Danra Barkhay, Deoningali Dhap till Barsey. The gorgeous section between Deoningali Dhap to Barsey and Hilley is a treat to witness Rhododendron flowers.

In Autumn Rhododendron are not in bloom though the forest on Singalila Phoktey Dara Trek is pleasant with deep reds and browns color. Crystal-clear blue sky adds extra vibes to the pleasant vegetation.

The Autumn season is good for having sharp and clear views of the heavenly meadows and snow-capped mountain peaks. You can have great jaw-dropping views from almost all locations of the trek like Achalley, Kalijhar, Phoktey Dara, Danra Barkhey, and Barsey.

You can also witness the majestic clear star-lit sky during this season. It's best for those especially interested in night sky viewing, Birding, and photography
