Trekking in August: what to expect
August is the middle of the monsoon. The same four treks as July run: the Valley of Flowers, the Kashmir Great Lakes, Hampta Pass and Bhrigu Lake. The Valley of Flowers is at peak bloom in August, and it is most colourful in the 30 to 60 minutes after rain. Kashmir has rain showers in August, so carry full rain gear. On Hampta Pass, days from mid-July to mid-August are 12 to 22°C and nights 2 to 6°C, the mildest of its season.
The Valley of Flowers (4,329 m, 6 days, ₹7,500) is the easiest of the four, graded Easy to Moderate, and climbs to Hemkund Sahib on Day 4. The Kashmir Great Lakes (4,206 m, 7 days, ₹19,500) is Moderate to Difficult; it starts from Srinagar and crosses Nichnai Pass and Gadsar Pass, with mid-July to August days of 14 to 22°C. Hampta Pass (4,298 m, 5 days, ₹9,000) and Bhrigu Lake (4,300 m, 4 days, ₹7,200) are Moderate and start from Manali. Prices are per person + 5% GST.
Each batch takes up to 20 trekkers, and booking closes at 5 PM on the day before it starts. Pack a waterproof jacket and trek pants, a pack cover, dry bags and a warm layer. Hampta Pass, Bhrigu Lake, Kashmir Great Lakes and Valley of Flowers come with free microspikes and gaiters; bring your own trekking shoes, jacket and poles. Transport is not included in the trek fee: we help the group book shared cabs, paid directly to the driver and split among trekkers.
