The short answer
When to go to Lohaghat
April to June and September to November are the most comfortable windows, with clearer air and easier driving. July and August are monsoon months when landslides can disrupt hill roads and steps become slippery, so avoid them if you can. Winters are cold and snow is possible on higher ground, which can suit quiet, view-led trips but makes the roads harder for older travellers. No reliable sourced climate table was available, so monthly figures are left blank.
