Fresh snowfall is most common from December through February. For snow activities, Solang Valley and Rohtang Pass / Sissu often retain snow until April or May.

Safety is strictly regulated by local authorities. River rafting is banned during peak monsoon months (July–August) for safety. During winter and clear weather, certified vendors handle all gear and pilot operations.
Do we need to rent heavy winter clothes or snow boots for Solang Valley and Rohtang?
