When is the best time to trek Annapurna Base Camp?

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a year round hike. Spring and fall are primarily considered an important season for hiking in this region. Spring is the preferred time to hike in the Annapurna region if one is looking for beautiful mountain views and breathtaking landscapes. However, the monsoon season is not the best option due to heavy rains and mostly dark clouds. You definitely don’t want to be in the mountains with little to no views of the surrounding mountain peaks! It is important to make sure you are well prepared for the trek before arriving in Kathmandu with all the necessary gear. Properly packing your gear for the seasons can make your trip that much more comfortable and enjoyable!
