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 Singalila Ridge, expect daytime temperatures around 12°C on the trail and roughly -4°C at the highest camps after dark in March.
