The best time to go to Yasin Valley
The period between April and October is the ideal time to plan a trip to Yasin Valley. But, outside of this period, you’ll be faced with extreme cold and harsh weather as well. I was there in the middle of May and the valley was lush with mountains covered in snow.
There was a bit of the coldest nighttime temperatures, however, the daytime temperature was ideal. So, I would suggest that July and August is the best season to go to Yasin valley. Because you can also take advantage of the fruit and fishing during this time. The disadvantage is that during these times there is a massive flow of tourists from all over Pakistan.
