Currently planning around mid to end of July, surprised that there's actually people who knew about this, because when I ask this to my friend, all they shown is the shocking and sour expression: what? India?

Yeah I think it's quite good too, Many would recommend July too since you do not need over bulky clothes. During April it's still equivalent to other's country's winter temperature.

Kashmir - Nepal? Via Mount Everest "
