Himachal in June
School holidays keep Shimla and Manali at full price until the monsoon reaches the hills, usually in the last week of June. The first half of the month is fine for Kinnaur, Kasol and Tirthan. GHNP treks open. Expect afternoon thunderstorms from mid-month and plan long drives for early mornings.
