There is only one cropping season from April to October: for other months of the year, the area receives heavy snowfall;however in lower belts of Nichar block 2 crops are also taken as cropping season extends to 10 months. The total croppingperiod for wheat and barley may go up to 9-10 months as the crops remain dormant under snow cover for a period of 3-4months.
