You can visit the Sandakphu trek for about eight months a year. Except for Monsoon from May to August, Sankaphu is really beautiful around the year. But due to heavy rainfall, the roads are closed in the monsoon season. Here is a look at how Sankaphu looks in different seasons.

• In December: Get the unhindered views in the season and experience moderate snowfall and enjoy the weather.
• In January: As it is situated at a lower altitude as compared to the peaks of the Western Himalayas, the angle of the sun and the eastern Himalayas makes it a perfect place to visualise colourful skies at dusk and dawn.
• In February: In this month, Sandakphu provides the best mountain views and as the rain recedes and has wiped away all the dust and pollution from the atmosphere. Autumn in Sandakphu is known for golden colours, especially during sunrise and sunset.
• In March: As spring approaches, the entire place gets covered with colourful flowers, and you will get a colourful experience.
• In April: In the initial weeks of April, Sankaphu is beautiful, but with time, rain becomes more prevalent, making it difficult to carry on the trek.
