Best Season for Ghorpani 4 days Trek
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the best times for the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek. The weather is steady then, with beautiful vistas of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges and clear skies. Spring brings the rhododendron forests along the route alive with brilliant red, pink, and white flowers, thus offering a scenic walking experience.
In contrast, autumn offers great visibility, cool air, and mild temperatures; hence, it's the perfect time for wide-range mountain sights and photo shooting. Winter may be chillier at greater elevations, but it also provides solitude and snow-covered paths running from December to February.
Although it is a perfect time for lush greenery and fewer crowds, the 4 Days Poon Hill Trek in monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy rains that disguise views and render paths slick. Spring and fall are excellent for this hike in terms of experience.
