Best Time for Kakani Canyoning

Canyoning in Kakani is best enjoyed in the dry months (September to April). During this time, canyoning is the perfect activity, with stable weather and manageable water levels in rivers and streams. The monsoon season, from June through August, brings high water levels, dense rain, and the potential for rushing water, which can render the canyons dangerous and inaccessible.

Autumn (September-November) and spring (March-April) are highly recommended for the best experience. Fall provides cool temperatures and colorful surroundings, and spring colors the air with blooming blossoms and blue skies. Both of these seasons are fantastic for canyoning owing to mild temperatures and beautiful views of the Himalayas, making it a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Entering the canyon is like stepping inside a postcard or a movie! These months offer the best conditions for canyoning, as you are secured to do this in both safety and fun.
