to the altitude the climate is almost always dry. The summer months
tend to be pleasant and are a complete opposite from the scorching
tempratures that exist in other parts of the region. The afternoons
may get a bit warm but the evenings and nights are most refreshing.
This is soon followed by the monsoon season which brings with
it a magical festivity that breaths new life in the flora and
fauna, providing much needed relief from the effects of summer.
A perfect time to visit if you feel like watching the rain fall
with a good book and some hot tea. The winter has its own charm.
The air is crisp and invigorating and is great for those long
walks that one plans on taking. The days are lovely; the sun on
your back is most soothing. The nights are cold and sometimes,
the night temperature could dip below freezing, therefore appropriate
winter clothing is a must. Drinks and kebabs around a bonfire
are suggested and are a great way to spend an evening.
