While trekking in the Himalayas weather is the crucial factor. The same applies to Ghandruk Loop Trek. Though the trek can be done around the year, the best time to trek Ghandruk Loop Trek is spring (Mar-May) and autumn (Mid-Sep to Mid- Nov) seasons. But for any explorer and travel enthusiast, Ghandruk Loop Trek can be done in winter or monsoon as well.
March-May (spring)
Spring (March-May) is one of the most suitable times for the Ghandruk Loop Trek. Climate is mild with low rainfall in this season and the perfect time for trekking. The daily temperature will be between 18°C to 25°C. March-May marks the withdrawal of winter season, it starts to get warmer as day time begins to lengthen. The skies are clearer, offering you an unobstructed mountain view. As spring marks time of rebirth and regeneration you can see farmers working in their farmlands for new agricultural season. You can witness Rhododendron bloom while traversing through forest during your trail.
June to August (Monsson)
Monsoon in Nepal is from June to August which is also the monsoon. The temperature is warmer but this region also receives highest rainfall during monsoon which makes the trails wet and slippery. Day temperatures normally range from 20°C to 28°C and get comparatively colder at night (12°C to 15°C). Due to monsoon the skies might not be clear which might restrict you from getting mountain views but the vegetation is on full bloom, the forests and farmlands are as green as it could get during these times.
Monsoon is relatively not preferred by travelers to embark on Ghandruk Loop Trek Trail as the continuous downpour during day can cause landslides, flash floods etc. totally ruining your trekking experience.
September to November (Autumn)
September, October, and November are the autumn season in Nepal. It’s another great season to trek. Moderate temperatures, mild wind, and low precipitation means the weather will be most pleasant for trekking the region. Sun will be shining brightly with clear skies and gives you clear mountain views. By September monsoon will be over and days will be mild to warm. Daytime temperatures can reach up to 27°C. Nights are colder with temperatures around 10°C.
December to February (Winter)
December to February marks the winter region in Nepal. The days are colder with temperature ranging from 10°C to 15°C and nights are even colder with temperatures ranging from -2°C to 5°C. Since, there will be no rainfall during winter the trail will be dry and easy to walk on. Unlike, trekking in high altitude, Dhampus Sarangkot Trekking can be done in winter without any issue. The chance of snowing during winter is low, but even if it snow, it would rather add beauty to the trail than causing problem. Loshar celebrated by Gurung people falls during this time of year, you can plan your trip to witness the charm of local culture. The skies are also clear, offering you breathtaking mountain view.
All in all, your can do Ghandruk Loop Trek during December to February or winter. Winter is a favorable time of the year to embark in Ghandruk Loop Trek.
