Best Time to Go Poon Hill

The Poon Hill Trek is beautiful all year, but the best times are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). In spring, the rhododendron forests bloom with red, pink, and white flowers, making the trail colorful and full of life. The weather is mild, and the skies are usually clear, perfect for catching that famous sunrise view.

Autumn is another popular time because the skies are clear and blue after the summer rains. The mountain views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri are at their clearest. Winter months (December to February) are quieter and offer snowy landscapes, but it’s colder, so warm clothes are needed. The rainy monsoon season (June to August) brings lush greenery but can make trails slippery. No matter the season, the hills and villages of Poon Hill always welcome you with open arms.

No matter when you visit, each season has something unique to offer. Whether it’s blooming flowers or clear mountain skies, Poon Hill always feels magical. If you're in Nepal for more time and want to combine two routes like Annapurna Base camp with Poon Hill, we got you!

Rural Village Life in Poon Hill Trek

The Poon Hill Trek 2 Days isn’t just about mountains—it’s also about the warm and simple life of the people who live there. As you walk through charming Gurung and Magar villages, you’ll notice stone-paved paths, colorful prayer flags, and small farmlands where locals grow their own food. The houses are made of stone and wood, and the locals live close to nature, following the rhythm of the seasons.

Walking through the villages on the Poon Hill trek feels like stepping back to a simpler, peaceful time. You’ll pass through quiet Gurung and Magar villages where smiling locals greet you with a warm “Namaste”, Children wave as they walk to school, and old villagers sit outside their homes, spinning stories under the sun. It’s a chance to see how people live closely connected to the land, growing their food and sharing their traditions.

In Ghorepani, where you’ll stay overnight, life moves gently. Farmers tend to their fields, and the fresh mountain air carries the sound of bells from nearby animals. When the evening comes, the tea house lights glow softly, and you can hear laughter and conversation in the village. Experiencing this way of life which is far from busy cities makes you feel at home, even if it’s just for a short time.

Many tea houses you stay at are family-run, giving you a warm welcome and home-cooked meals. You’ll feel like part of the family, sharing stories by the fire at night. Joining them for a simple cup of tea or hearing about their daily life will leave you with memories far beyond the trek itself. It's not just a journey through the mountains, but also a meaningful connection with the heart of rural Nepal.
