Best Time to Go
Autumn (Sep–Nov)
Best season. Crystal-clear skies, stable weather, spectacular mountain views. Peak crowds on EBC and ABC trails.
Spring (Mar–May)
Second-best season. Rhododendrons in bloom, good visibility. Slightly warmer than autumn. Pre-monsoon clouds build in afternoon.
Winter (Dec–Feb)
Cold but uncrowded. Clear skies and great views. High passes may be snowed-in. Lower altitude treks (Ghorepani, Langtang lower) remain open.
Monsoon (Jun–Aug)
Wet season. Trails slippery, leeches on lower sections, views often obscured. Not recommended except for rain-shadow regions (Upper Mustang).

Primeira vez no Nepal e fiz a trilha de Poon Hill como aquecimento antes do ABC. Foi simplesmente mágico. Nossa guia Sunita foi incrível — paciente com o meu ritmo e cheia de histórias sobre as comunidades Gurung ao longo do caminho. O amanhecer em Poon Hill com o Annapurna e Dhaulagiri pintados de laranja... é uma das coisas mais bonitas que já vi na minha vida. Empresa profissional, preços justos. Voltarei em breve! (First time in Nepal and the Poon Hill trek was simply magical. Guide Sunita was incredible. The sunrise at Poon Hill with Annapurna and Dhaulagiri painted orange is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Will return soon!)

Premier trek de ma vie et je ne pouvais pas espérer mieux. Travel Himalaya Nepal m'a tout préparé — les permits, le transport, les hébergements. Notre guide Pemba était incroyable, toujours de bonne humeur même quand la montée vers Ghorepani était difficile. Le moment à Poon Hill, entouré de 8 sommets au-dessus de 7000m, m'a changé. Je rentre à Paris transformé. (My first trek ever and I could not have hoped for better. Guide Pemba was incredible. The moment at Poon Hill, surrounded by peaks above 7000m, changed me.)

Отличная компания для треккинга! Наш гид Карма был профессионален и внимателен. Трек Пун Хилл — идеальный выбор для новичков. Рассвет над Аннапурной и Дхаулагири — это нечто, что остается с тобой навсегда. Цены честные, никаких скрытых платежей. Рекомендую всем! (Excellent trekking company! Our guide Karma was professional and attentive. The Poon Hill sunrise over Annapurna and Dhaulagiri stays with you forever. Honest prices, no hidden fees. Highly recommend!)

Was in Nepal for two weeks and spent four of those days on the Poon Hill trek. It was unquestionably the highlight of the entire trip. Our guide Bikash was exceptional — brilliant storyteller, completely in command of the route, and managed our slightly unfit group with great humor. The village of Ghandruk on the descent was a beautiful surprise. Stayed at the THN-recommended guesthouse and had the best apple pie I have ever eaten. Book this. Just book it.

포카라에서 4일 트레킹을 했는데 정말 인생 최고의 경험이었습니다. 가이드 람은 너무 친절하고 전문적이었어요. 푼힐에서 본 일출은 말로 표현할 수가 없어요. 히말라야의 장엄함에 완전히 압도됐습니다. 한국에서 온 친구들에게 강력 추천합니다! (I did a 4-day trek from Pokhara and it was truly the best experience of my life. Guide Ram was so kind and professional. The sunrise at Poon Hill cannot be expressed in words. Strongly recommend to Korean friends!)

Ho fatto questo trek con mia moglie per il nostro anniversario — è stata la scelta migliore. La guida era preparatissima e il ritmo era perfetto per noi che non eravamo molto allenati. Ghorepani è un villaggio bellissimo e la notte stellata da lì era qualcosa di indimenticabile. L'alba a Poon Hill ha superato tutte le aspettative. Servizio professionale, prezzi onesti, zero sorprese. (I did this trek with my wife for our anniversary — it was the best choice. The sunrise at Poon Hill exceeded all expectations. Professional service, honest prices, zero surprises.)

If you only have 4 days in Nepal, do this trek. I was a total beginner — no hiking experience at all — and our guide Sunita made everything feel manageable. The sunrise from Poon Hill is something that happens to you rather than something you just see. Dhaulagiri and Annapurna turning pink and then golden while you stand above the clouds. The rhododendron forests in full bloom were absolutely extraordinary. Cannot recommend Travel Himalaya Nepal highly enough.
