Advice on weather conditions : purola , mori, jakhol

Hi Guys,

I will be going to Jakhol in Tons Valley on 21st of Oct to attend a friends wedding.. Now that he has already left for his village. I am unable to ask him how will be the weather like in jakhol.

I have heard that place is famous for Duryodhana's temple. And trekkers love this place.. so please let me know what cloths should I be taking.

Hope to get some gud pics of valley and marriage ceremony..

My Guesstimate:

21st Oct night temps will be around 4 deg sometimes falling to 1 to 2 deg Celsius

day temps expect around 14 to 18 deg Celsius.

Tell us the correct figures afetr you come back.

Weather

I was there 2 weeks ago and the weather wasn't too cold yet. But things have gotten significantly cooler in Mussoorie the past few days so I think the colder weather is starting to set in. Those previous guesstimations while maybe a bit on the cold side might be about right. I would prepare for cooler weather.
Hope this helps.

Guesstimate

Yes, I have deliberately erred on the colder side. You cannot afford to get caught in the Himalaya on the wrong side of a cold spell. Even ordinary bus travel becomes a cold and windy hell.
