I'm hoping to travel to India for photography early next year. I guess the hill stations up there will be closed to travel in the winter, but I'm planning to be in India for 6 months or so, so I'll look to get there in the warmer months.
If you want to shoot snow clad mountains, you can fly to Leh in the winter and move around a bit from there. It isn't accessible by road in winter.
If you want to go to the lower hills, you can visit anytime of the year. Though it is better to avoid the monsoons.
If you want to travel by road in the mountains then the late June to September months are best. The hills are best after September, once the rains recede!
If you do get a chance, you must. There is nothing in this world like the Himalayas. At least that is what seasoned mountaineers believe!
