The best season to do Nalgan Pass Trek is from the 2nd week of May to the 2nd week of June and the 2nd week of September to the 3rd week of October. During the first week of May, the snow is too high and therefore trekking gets really typical. June is the best summer month to do Nalgan Pass Trek, especially for the first time trekkers of high altitude. Monsoon is all hale and hearty during July, August, and early September.

The rain makes the area blurry and slippery.

The area doesn’t experience much snowfall post-monsoon, although snow patches start to appear. Intermittent snowfall happens in bursts three or four times.
