Weather & trail conditions in July

Rain is a daily companion on most Himalayan trails in these months — expect slippery descents, leeches in the forest sections and occasional roadblocks on the drives. Only monsoon-suitable trails should be attempted. On Deoban, expect daytime temperatures around 21°C on the trail and roughly 12°C at the highest camps after dark in July.
