The best time to undertake the Bhrigu Lake Trek is from June to September. During these months, the weather is generally favorable, with clear skies and moderate temperatures making the trek enjoyable. The summer months of June and July offer lush green landscapes and a chance to experience the beauty of blooming meadows. August, while slightly wetter, still provides clear views of the mountains and is ideal for those who enjoy a slightly quieter trek. The trek can be challenging during the winter months (December to March) due to heavy snow, and the monsoon season (July to September) can make the trails slippery and prone to landslides.
