The short answer
When to go to Salher
The best window is October to February, when mornings are cool, skies are clear and the rock-cut steps are dry. March brings warmth, April and May are hot, and the monsoon from June to September makes the steps slippery and the summit mist-bound. Older travellers should visit in winter and keep to the base villages and temples.
