Sandakphu & the Singalila Ridge in August
August is the same story: heavy rain, cloud on the ridge and the park closed. Hillside roads to Rimbik and Dhotrey slip in places. The upside is that the forest is at its greenest when the park reopens. Use August to plan and book October huts and lodges.
Local tip: October weekends and the Puja holidays fill up; book in August.
