Best Time to Trek Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) and Poonhill Trek
(Seasonal Breakdown)
Choosing the right season is essential for an enjoyable Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek. Each season in Nepal offers a unique experience, from clear skies and blooming flowers to snow-covered landscapes.
1. Autumn (September – November) – Peak Season
Autumn is the most popular time for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Clear blue skies, mild temperatures, and stable weather make it perfect for trekking. The views of Annapurna I (8,091m), Machapuchare (6,993m), and Hiunchuli (6,441m) are at their best. This season also coincides with major Nepali festivals like Dashain and Tihar, adding cultural richness to your trip.
2. Spring (March – May) – Second Best Season
Spring brings warm weather, excellent visibility, and vibrant rhododendron forests in full bloom. The trails are lively, and the colorful landscape enhances your trekking experience. This season is ideal for photographers as the combination of blooming flowers and snow-capped peaks creates breathtaking scenery.
3. Winter (December – February) – Quiet and Peaceful
Winter trekking offers fewer crowds and clear mountain views, but it comes with colder temperatures, especially above 3,000m. While the trails remain accessible, you need proper winter trekking gear. For those who enjoy solitude and snowy trails, this is a magical time to trek.
4. Monsoon (June – August) – For Rain-Lovers and Solitude Seekers
The monsoon season brings heavy rainfall and slippery trails, but it also offers lush green landscapes and fewer trekkers. This time is suitable for those who prefer off-season trekking and want to enjoy quiet trails. However, be prepared for leeches and limited visibility in some sections.
