Best Season to Travel

Choosing the right season is crucial to enjoying the full beauty of the Poon Hill Trek. The best times to embark on this journey are:

  • Spring (March to May): The rhododendron forests are in full bloom, painting the trails in vibrant hues of red and pink. The weather is pleasant, and the skies are generally clear, offering uninterrupted mountain views.
  • Autumn (September to November): Known for its crystal-clear skies and moderate temperatures, this season is ideal for trekking. The post-monsoon air enhances the visibility, making the Himalayan peaks appear even more majestic.

Winter and monsoon seasons are less ideal, as heavy snowfall and rainfall often make the trails challenging while obscuring the breathtaking mountain views.
