While trekking in the Himalayas weather is the crucial factor. The same applies to the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek. Though the trek can be done around the year, the best time to trek Ghorepani Poonhill Trek is spring (Mar-May) and autumn (Mid-Sep to Mid-Nov) seasons. But for any explorer and travel enthusiast, Dhampus Sarangkot 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 Ghorepani Poonhill Trek. The 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 the winter season, it starts to get warmer as the daytime begins to lengthen. The skies are clearer, offering you an unobstructed mountain view. As spring marks a time of rebirth and regeneration, you can see farmers working in their farmlands for the new agricultural season. You can witness Rhododendron bloom while traversing through the forest during your trail.
June to August (Monsson)
The monsoon in Nepal is from June to August which is also the monsoon. The temperature is warmer but this region also receives the 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 in full bloom, and the forests and farmlands are as green as they could get during these times.
Monsoon is relatively not preferred by travelers to embark on the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek Trail as the continuous downpour during the day can cause landslides, flash floods, etc. totally ruining your trekking experience.
September to November (Autumn)
September, October, and November are the autumn seasons in Nepal. It’s another great season to trek. Moderate temperatures, mild wind, and low precipitation mean the weather will be most pleasant for trekking the region. The sun will be shining brightly with clear skies and give 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 temperatures 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 altitudes, Ghorepani Poonhill Trekking can be done in winter without any issue. The chance of snowing during winter is low, but even if it snows, it would rather add beauty to the trail than cause problems. 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 a breathtaking mountain view.
All in all, you can do the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek from December to February or winter. Winter is a favorable time of the year to embark on the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek.
Travel insurance is highly recommended and Breakfree Adventure encourages every tourist to subscribe an insurance should you be going trekking, rafting, paragliding, etc. We require that, at a minimum, you are covered for personal injury, medical expenses, repatriation expenses, helicopter rescue, loss of luggage, etc. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment, loss of luggage, and personal effects. Please check with your insurance company that adventure activities and trekking above 3,000m/9,842ft are covered in your policy, as some companies do not cover such things. You must carry proof of insurance (e.g. your insurance certificate) with you on the holiday; if you cannot provide this at the start of the holiday, you will be required to take out a suitable policy at that time.
In Kathmandu, we use 3 3-star hotels but can upgrade upon request. During the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek, we lodge our clients in the best hotels in all the checkpoints. The Hotels and lodges found throughout the trail are more luxurious and have all the modern facilities than tea houses found on high-altitude trekking trail. The rooms can be private or on a twin basis depending upon the hotel. If you are traveling in a group, you will share a room with someone else of the same gender from your group. If you prefer a single room, you may indicate your preference on request and pay a supplement. Keep in mind that, during peak season you are less likely to get single accommodations, but we will try our best to accommodate your preferences if possible. In this arrangement overnight stays with dinner and breakfast will be in Hotels/Lodges and lunches in local restaurants en route. Furthermore, as you will be staying in locally owned lodges you will be benefiting and interacting with the local community. It will give you a true feel for the Nepalese people and their lives.
We provide quality food in sufficient quantities (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) from guesthouses chosen from a menu. While Ghorepani Poonhill Trek, your guide will help with menu selection and ensure that you get the best value meals possible. Although the food is usually plentiful and delicious, you should be aware that the menu is not normally extensive due to the extreme locations. Most teahouses offer a variety of rice and noodle dishes, as well as soup and seasonal vegetables. A variety of cereals, bread, and egg dishes are generally available for breakfast. There will also be plenty of snacks available such as biscuits, chocolate, and soft drinks and in some areas, you will find fresh fruit in season. You can buy bottled mineral water from local lodges and shops or you can also ask your guide to fill your water bottle with boiled water and treat it with water purification pills.

The climate of Nepal is as varied as its geography. The low-lying Terai has a sub-tropical monsoonal climate. The Himalayan foothills, where most of our treks take place, are best in the cool dry season from September to May. The traditional trekking season in Nepal is late September to December, with October and November generally recognized as having the best weather. Spring is also a popular time of year with warmer weather and the advantage of seeing spring flowers and rhododendrons in bloom. The visibility is good and days are pleasantly warm, although nights can be cold, and snow is possible above 3,000 meters or 9,842 feet.
Himalayan weather can be unpredictable where nights are generally cooler and days warmer.

Expect the unexpected! The temperature could be as high as 20 deg C to -15 deg C low.

The visa application would require a passport legitimate for at least 6- months and a passport-length photograph. The present-day visa rate costs USD30 for 15 days, which you need to pay in cash (Please bring the exact change of USD30 per person) on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport. Citizens of China and the SAARC nations will acquire a loose visa.
A few countries – Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Cameroon, Somalia, Liberia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Palestine, and Afghanistan- may not get hold of an on-arrival visa. In case you are from those international locations, you should contact your local Nepalese embassy.
Nepali Rupees (NPR/Rs)
(USD 1 = NPR/Rs 132) at present (Subject to change)
You can exchange foreign currencies via the nearest banks and valid money exchange counters in Thamel, and also you can alternate small quantities of cash in hotels.
The simplest one hundred and 2000 Indian Rupee notes are legal in Nepal. You may also withdraw cash (in Nepali Rupees only) from one of the many ATMs in Kathmandu and other major cities.
Several ATMs in Kathmandu are open around the clock. In case you are using a foreign card – the most withdrawn quantity is 35,000 Rupees for a 500 Rupees processing fee. If you use Credit Cards provided to you by your banking partner, for exchanging foreign currency, you might get charged a processing fee of approximately four percent or more. Credit cards (Mastercard, Visa & American Express) are accepted at major hotels, shops and restaurants.
The chances of finding a bank along the trekking trail are near null, so we encourage you to exchange foreign currency or withdraw enough money in Kathmandu. With enough Nepali Rupees cash on your hand, you can easily pay for the services and goods almost everywhere.
