Spring in the Himalayas – Best Treks for Clear Skies & Blossoms

By mid-March, as winter slowly gives way to spring, remnants of snow can still be found lingering around high elevation meadows and clearings. A layer of vibrant green grass appears around these snow patches, creating picturesque scenes in meadows and clearings at higher elevations with lush grass adorned with ankle-high flowers against its snowy backdrop – truly captivating. As nature shakes off winter coldness, new leaves unfurl on trees while colourful flowers burst forth, transforming the landscape into a vivid display of colours – sure signs of spring are everywhere in nature – spring is very present. Birds are stirring from their winter sleep and filling the forests with cheerful songs. Springtime is an excellent time for bird photography enthusiasts to embark on treks, with blooming rhododendrons being one of the main draws – their vibrant scarlet and pink flowers creating a stunning sight that covers hillsides like an inferno; scarce scarlet ones add an exciting edge as they peek out playful along paths; some slopes even boast yellow-white blooms along with pink ones adding another dimension of joy and adventure when trekking! Springtime trekking offers some of the most breathtaking mountain views. In contrast, summer can bring challenges such as smoke from forest fires, smog, and heat waves, which obscure mountain scenes, and clouds may form from water vapor released by forests in response to heat waves, further hindering views. Therefore, spring provides clear blue skies and crisp air, offering unforgettable mountain vistas that cannot be rivalled.
