Narkanda sits at roughly 2,708m. Whether snow is on the ground depends on where the freezing level sits that week, not just the month - it can be a winter wonderland one week and bare the next. This page runs a live Snow Line instrument comparing today's freezing level against Narkanda's altitude, plus any fresh snowfall in the 7-day forecast.
Most destinations on Travelmetry are vetted for safety. Narkanda is generally considered safe for solo travelers, but we always recommend standard travel precautions and checking recent traveler reviews.
