Best time to Book Bhimtal Vacation Packages  

Ideally, the duration from March to June and September to December is considered the best time to plan a trip to Bhimtal. During these months, the weather is perfect for not only sightseeing but other outdoor activities as well. This is the time when you can also indulge in adventurous activities like trekking, paragliding, kayaking, mountain biking, etc. It is best to avoid planning a trip in the monsoon season (July-August), as the town experiences heavy downpours in these months. In addition to this, most tourist attractions also remain closed at this time to ensure people’s safety.
