Kumaon in June
The first half is busy and warm; the monsoon usually reaches Kumaon in the second half of June. Kainchi Dham's foundation-day mela on 15 June draws very large crowds and traffic controls on the Bhowali–Almora road. After the rains start, landslides begin to close roads for hours at a time. Good for higher places early in the month.
