The weather in some parts of India is extreme in summers. That is why, it best to elope to a Himalayan destination during such times where the climate is always cold and pleasant. Same goes for your Chardham package from Varanasi where the destination enjoys a beautiful climate between April to June. It is the best time to undertake this journey during that time to beat the heat in Varanasi. Moreover, the snow after its harsh winters starts to melt leaving the valleys green and lush. It is ideal for having adventurous travels as well during this time because after these months, the monsoons arrive and tourism takes a back seat then owing to frequent landslides. You can then plan your yatra just before the winters set in, in the months of September and October. It is also a great time to explore the destinations without much crowding.
