Additionally, the likelihood of encountering heavy snowfall or rain is minimal, further enhancing the overall climbing experience.

Following the end of the monsoon season, the weather stabilizes, leading to clearer skies and drier trails. This window also avoids the summer crowds, providing a more tranquil and enjoyable climb. Consequently, these months offer a favorable combination of good weather and reduced foot traffic, making it an ideal time to undertake the climb to Surya Peak.
