Laya sits at around 3,800 metres, so the Royal Highland Festival brings crisp alpine weather and noticeable temperature changes between day and night.
In late October, daytime temperatures are typically around 8–15°C, with bright sunshine often making the afternoons feel pleasantly comfortable. Once the sun drops, temperatures cool quickly. Expect evenings and early mornings to range around 0–5°C, while clear or windy nights at camp can occasionally fall below freezing.
Weather in the high Himalayas can change quickly, so guests should come prepared for sun, cold, wind, and the possibility of light rain. A warm insulated jacket, thermal base layers, fleece or down mid-layer, gloves, warm hat, waterproof outer layer, and sturdy trekking footwear are essential.
Raven provides warm sleeping arrangements and hot-water bags at camp, and a detailed festival packing list will be shared once your journey is confirmed.
