While most people go in summer, a Panch Prayag Yatra tour package from Delhi in the early winter (November/December) has its own charm. The crowds are gone, the air is incredibly crisp, and the water is a crystal clear blue. You’ll need heavy woolens, but the peace you find is unmatched. Just keep in mind that some higher altitude spots might be very cold, so check with your tour operator about heated accommodation options. It’s the best time for those who truly want to avoid the \"tourist\" feel.
