    Best Time to Visit

    The best time for a Manali-Srinagar bike trip is between June and September when the roads are open and the weather is pleasant.

    • June to July: Ideal weather with clear roads and stunning landscapes.
    • August: Monsoon season, occasional landslides, but lush greenery.
    • September: Post-monsoon, perfect for riding with fewer tourists.

    Winter months (October to May) are not advisable due to extreme snowfall and road closures.
