Kheerganga Trek in March

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

The quick answer

Yes — March is one of the best months for the Kheerganga trek. It falls squarely in the trail's prime season (Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Sep, Oct, Nov). The trek runs 2 days from Barshaini, Parvati Valley, reaching 9,700 ft at its highest point, and is graded Easy-Moderate (2/5). The fee is ₹4,999 + 5% GST with permits, meals, camping and certified trek leaders included.

Weather & trail conditions in March

The snowline retreats through these weeks, so you often get the best of both worlds — snow patches up high and rhododendron blooms in the forest sections. Trails are firm and days are comfortably cool. On Kheerganga, expect daytime temperatures around 15°C on the trail and roughly 0°C at the highest camps after dark in March.
