    If you’re aiming for a quieter trek, early March keeps the trail dry and the crowds thin. In October the hills burst green after the rains, but the humidity can make the walk a bit sticky. A quick stop at Rishikesh is worthwhile for a morning Ganga swim and a stroll through the ashram area. If you stay overnight, the ArtBuzz Rishikesh hostel offers convenient access to the river and the evening aarti.
