The thaw begins. Early-season visitors may see snow at Yumthang with the first rhododendrons flowering lower down, though road closures after late snowfall are still possible. Lachen and Gurudongmar access depends on that year's road status and snow. Crowds are thin and prices are lower than in April and May.
