December to February are the coldest months to trek, with the shortest days and the fewest people. There is often a lot of snow on the ground, especially above Pitam Deurali and getting to Destination can sometimes be very difficult or impossible. Many of the higher villages are abandoned for the winter.
March, April, and May are some of the busier months and for good reason. The days are getting warmer, the weather is mostly stable and the climbing season is in full swing. It really is an amazing sight from Badal Danda a, High Camp, Viewpoints, and Mardi Himal Base Camp. The flowers are blooming on the Rhododendrons and the terraced fields turn green with new shoots of vegetables.
From June to August the summer monsoons bring rain and snow. There are fewer visitors during these months, although some of the most beautiful, warm, blue-sky days occur now. Usually, by the afternoon, there is a rainstorm or snow higher up.
This is the most popular time to visit the Annapurna Area. September through November is a time of steady weather patterns, less precipitation, and cleaner air. The lodges are full and everyone is friendly. If you enjoy meeting new friends, want the best chance for great weather and don’t mind an empty, this is the best trekking season.

I went with Ram on the Mardi Himal trek, and it was the best and most beautiful trek I’ve been on. Every morning we had an amazing sunrise, and even though I felt bad, Ram took care of me and told me what to eat. Ram and the porters, Krishna and Santosh did a very good job, and we enjoyed the evenings together with them.
