Indicative only — actual flyability is decided by weather on the day, not the calendar. These are the months a site is typically operational and worth planning around.
FAQs
Season questions
Which site is open during monsoon?
Essentially none. June to September grounds almost every Indian site — rain, cloud and gusty winds make ridge flying unsafe. The northeast sites reopen earliest (September); mainland sites wait for post-monsoon stability.
When should I book for December–January?
That's peak season at most sites — book 2–4 weeks out for weekend slots, especially around Christmas–New Year. Weekdays are much easier.
