Buran Ghati Trek can be done in two seasons — Summer and Autumn. The summer season starts in mid-May and continues until the end of June. It might even stretch to the first week of July. Then the trek closes for the monsoon season. After that, it reopens in mid-September and goes on until the second or third week of October. The weather and temperatures in each season are different. In summer, the daytime temperature would be around 15-20 degrees Celsius. At night, the temperature would drop to 0 degrees Celsius. In autumn, the daytime temperatures hover around 15 degrees Celsius. But at night the temperature could drop to sub-zero levels, especially at the higher campsites.
If you are going during the summer months of May and June, then you will rappel down on an ice wall at Buran Pass, which is at 15,000 feet. However, do not expect the same after the monsoon. The snow would have melted away and you don’t rappel down in September, and October. Instead, you descend the trails from the pass, on a series of switchbacks.
