Is June right for you?
Best for
Travellers interested in temples and valley visits who can adapt to rain. Keep spare time around road transfers and avoid relying on clear mountain views.
Caveats
Mountain views are unpredictable. Roads can have brief landslide closures. Tiger's Nest is doable but slippery on the ascent, wear proper shoes.
What to pack for June
- Quality rain jacket / poncho (essential)
- Quick-dry clothing, synthetic, not cotton
- Hiking shoes with grip (muddy trails)
- Insect repellent (lower valleys)
- Light fleece for cooler highland evenings
- Plastic bags / dry sack for camera gear
