The perfect season to hike Khumai Danda

We can assist you in determining the ideal time to undertake the Khumai Danda Trek. Any time of year is a wonderful opportunity to start the Khumai Danda Trek. The walk will not let you down, come autumn, spring, or even winter. Still, it's best to avoid the monsoon season. There is a high likelihood that you may see significant rainfall during the monsoon season. Thus, pathways become slick and can cause trips and falls. As a result, we advise you to plan your trip during the optimal period and avoid the monsoon season.
