Best Season to Trek in Annapurna
Although Annapurna Base Camp can be trekked throughout the year but we suggest Spring (February to May) and Autumn (October to December) because this season is the best season for trekking.
Nepal receives monsoon rain from June through September, which is not a great time to trek.
Winter is very cold in the upper mountains with heavy snowfall which cause obstructions in the trekking routes.
