Katra in June
Jammu & Kashmir, India
June at Katra is hot-humid plus the start of the monsoon advance. Daytime 32-34C, nights 22-25C. Pilgrim flow remains heavy at 35-45k/day weekdays, more on weekends. The southwest monsoon arrives in the Trikuta Hills in the last 10 days of June; rainfall jumps from 50mm in the first half to 150-200mm across the month. Trail conditions on the steeper Adkuwari-Sanjichhat stretch become slippery on rainy days. Landslide-induced trail closures on the Sanjichhat-Bhawan stretch occur 1-3 times across the month (each clearing within 12-24 hours). Helicopter weather cancellations run 20-25 percent. RFID Yatra Parchi registration, battery car, pony service all running. Hotels at 80-85 percent occupancy. The Bhairon Mandir extension trail (2km uphill from Bhawan) is fully open. Carry rain protection, non-slip footwear, ORS. Most pilgrims overnight at the Sanjichhat dharamshala when caught in evening rain.
