Best Seasons to Visit Poon Hill Short Trek

Choosing the best time for a 2-day Poon Hill Trek is crucial for an optimal experience, considering the diverse landscapes and climatic variations along the short Annapurna trek.

The best seasons for the 2-day Poon Hill Trek are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the weather conditions are generally favourable for short Annapurna treks.

Spring offers mild temperatures, blooming rhododendron flowers, and clear skies, enhancing the scenic beauty. It is an excellent time for nature enthusiasts and photographers to capture the vibrant landscapes.

Autumn brings stable weather with clear visibility, making it ideal for trekking. The crisp air allows for breathtaking views of the Annapurna range and Dhaulagiri. The pleasant temperatures during the day and cool nights contribute to a comfortable trekking experience.

While spring and autumn are the most popular seasons, it's essential to note that the 2-day Poon Hill Trek is possible during other times too, but weather conditions may differ. The monsoon (June to August) brings heavy rainfall, leading to slippery trails and reduced visibility. Winter (December to February) may bring cold temperatures, especially at higher altitudes.

The climate on Poon Hill in 2 days can vary, especially during early mornings and evenings. Adequate layers and weather-appropriate gear are essential for comfort and safety. Preparing for temperature fluctuations allows you to fully immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring vistas without being hindered by unexpected weather changes.
