The most ideal Time to do this trek is around the monsoon season between June and September. During June, you will be able to see snow, and one of the places where you will find snow is Palchhani Thatch. This month is the end of winter, and these places are covered in snow. As July gets closer, the snow starts melting, and you start noticing green meadows hiding between the snow. The ice bed on the lake begins to break as the frozen Beas Kund melts.
