Questions About This Tour

Peak autumn colour runs mid-September through mid-October, with late September typically offering the richest gold and orange tones in Shigar and Khaplu valleys.
Yes, autumn sees significantly fewer visitors than the June-August peak season, while the weather remains pleasant and stable, making it one of our favourite times to recommend.
