What are some good places to visit in North India during October?
There's a lot to do in the North. From birding to trekking to village stays, the list is endless. I've mentioned a few of my favorites below. Let me know what you think!
Binsar Uttarakhand – Idyllic life in Birding Paradise
Highlights
Rupin Pass Trek, Uttarakhand-Himachal Pradesh - 7N/8D
The Rupin Pass Trek (4540 m) is a high-altitude trek from Uttarakhand to Himachal Pradesh. It is a remote and beautiful trekking trail that begins at Uttarakhand (Dhaula) and runs through Himachal Pradesh (Sangla), over Rupin Pass, following the Rupin River. The trek gives us glimpses of several villages, shepherd camps in the Rupin River Valley. We witness the Garhwali and the Kinnauri culture - a trek that gives us the best of both worlds.The landscapes greet us with glaciers, waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, pine/oak/rhododendron forests and loads of scenic revelations. Though the snow conditions over the pass may at times pose quite a challenge - the trek has something for all and can be enjoyed by both experienced trekkers and beginners.
Bali Pass Trek, Uttarakhand - 8N/9D
The Bali Pass or the Yamunotri Pass stands tall at a staggering height of 4800 m. The pass falls on the old trekker's route from theTons Rivervalley to the Yamuna River valley. Most trekker's approach it from the Har ki Dun side as the gradient is less steeper and provides better acclimatization. The route passes through the Govind National Park which is known for its rich flora and bird-life and includes two nights on the banks of the sacredRuinsara Lake and a visit to the revered Yamunotri Temple.
Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand: Rustic, Peaceful and Ecological Getaway - 3N/4D
The eco lodge is about 153 kms away Rishikesh near Rudraprayag. Rudraprayag is a serene fertile town set in the backdrop of mountains in Uttarakhand. The town is situated on the holy confluence or the ‘prayag’ of the Mandakini river (coming from Kedarnath) and the Alaknanda river (coming from Badrinath). The town is named after Lord Shiva (Rudra). The eco lodge here, with its peaceful ambience, the lush green setting overlooking the widespread paddy fields and the Alaknanada river will serve as reasons for your everyday smile.
Perfectly Punjab: Farming & Cycling in the Countryside - 2N/3D
Highlights
Village Walks: Chalni Chinna-Ganget, Kumaon 3N/4D
Highlights
Through the picturesque villages of Chalni Chinni, Thikalna & Ganghet in the Kumaon division of Uttarakhand. These little known villages are located in gorgeous locations. Walk through forests of pine, deodar and rhododendrons with the mighty Himalayas in the background. Stay in a 100-year-old traditional Kumaoni style stone house and village houses in Thikalna and Ganghet that offer views of the pristine surroundings.
Mussoorie, Uttarakhand: Biking & Rafting Adventure 2N/3D
Highlights
Mussoorie is known as The Queen of the Hills. Located in the Garhwals, the town gets its name from the Mansoor shrub that grows in abundance here. Mussoorie was founded in 1825 by Captain John Young who built a shooting lodge here. Later it became one of the summer retreats of the British. Today Mussoorie, with its gabled cottages and picturesque views of the Doon Valley and Shivalik ranges is one of India's most popular hill stations. Settlements and hotels have cropped up along the hill-side, with forested mountains rising behind against a bright cerulean sky. In winter, snowfall lends the town a magical appearance.

Kashmir : October will be good time for visiting Kashmir. You'll get fresh apples and mouve flower on the saffron farms. Snow will be at Affarwat and Mughal gardens will be partially bloomed. If rain comes, it will be for a short spell, that wont affect your outdoor activities. Temperature of Gulmarg (coldest) will be around 20/10 degC. You must carry heavy woolens.
Leh : September to October: Starting September a kind of chill sets in Leh but the sun keeps shining. This is also a great time to go trekking and visit nearby places.
