Brahmatal Trek in June

Weather, temperatures, packing and honest advice — from the team that runs this trail.

The quick answer

We don't recommend Brahmatal in June. The trail is at its best in Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar — and there are better options this month (listed below). The trek runs 6 days from Lohajung, Chamoli, reaching 12,250 ft at its highest point, and is graded Moderate (3/5). The fee is ₹7,999 + 5% GST with permits, meals, camping and certified trek leaders included.

Why not this month: July–August monsoon hides the big-mountain views behind cloud and makes the forest sections slippery; summer months are pleasant but ordinary — the lakes and ridge lose their winter magic.

Weather & trail conditions in June

Long, warm days with clear mornings; afternoon clouds are common at altitude. Snow bridges melt out, streams run high with meltwater, and the high passes open for the season. On Brahmatal, expect daytime temperatures around 20°C on the trail and roughly 6°C at the highest camps after dark in June.
