Ghorepani Trekking Overview:

The monsoon is a seasonal wind change that frequently takes place between July and September each year, especially in the South Asian region. The downpour from this dominant wind change ranges from heavy yet short bursts of rain to continuous rainfall that can linger for a day or longer. However, as the โ€œheartโ€ of this blog article is about the monsoon trek in Ghorepani a hilly region of Nepal, this article will explicitly educate our readers on the monsoon trek and how and why to take this trek at this time of the year ( July-Aug ). And also includes other various relevant facts and information such as the benefits and drawbacks of trekking, the things you might experience and so on that will revolve around our main topic.

Introduction:ย 

The Ghorepaniย Poon Hillย Trek, also known as the Annapurna Panorama Trek, is one of Nepalโ€™s most popular and well-known traditional hiking routes. This trek is a part of the longer, more difficult โ€œAnnapurna Circuit Trekโ€œ. Please note that I am not implying that this particular Ghorepani trek is extensive; rather, I am merely pointing out that it is the beginning of a longer trek. This trek is suitable for the typical visitor who cannot take so much time off, while the two of the most famous tourist destinations are the 2-week Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit treks require many weeks off from work.

The โ€œGhorepani Poonhill trekkingโ€ lasts between 5 and 9 days, during which we will lead you through numerous villages and forested trails with lots of breathtaking natural views and vegetation, including the โ€œRhododendronโ€ flower trees (Fact: Rhododendron is the Nepalese official or national flower). This energetic hike also offers some of the finest views of the Himalayas, including Annapurna South (7,219 m), Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Machhapuchhre (6,997 m), and Himchuli (6,434 m). A panoramic view of some of the highest peaks in the world can be seen from Poon Hill (3,210 meters), which you may reach a few days after leaving the trailhead.

ย Jennifer Dombrowskiย from the trekking agency says โ€œI myself became one of the more than 200,000 trekkers that head to Nepal for an adventure every year. It wouldnโ€™t be Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit for me, two of the most famous and popular treks. Instead, I dipped my toe into trekking with the 4-day Ghorepani Trek in the foothills of Annapurna.โ€

The journey begins:

ย Itโ€™s a very refreshing option to start our journey by relishing a day in Pokhara before we begin our trek to Ghorepani. Pokhara is a haven for adventurers, the city is surrounded by lush forests and situated adjacent to Phewa Lake. And another thing to love about this place is that it is one of the rainiest places in Nepal, but when youโ€™ve been in Kathmandu for a few days since you arrived, Pokhara welcomes you with the clean air which is quite a breath of fresh air. Before starting the trip the next day, stroll around the lakeside and take in Pokharaโ€™s laid-back atmosphere.

And, after a day of relaxation, the trek starts the next morning, this walk is speedier and more relaxing than other trekking places in Nepal because it can be finished in as little as a week to as many as nine days, depending on how much time you have for vacation. The stunning mountain views of the Annapurna Himalayan Ranges, which include Dhaulagiri and a number of other snowcapped mountains, are something you will experience within the short window of time to take in. Overall, when compared to other lengthy treks, it is the greatest place for both domestic and international travellers to witness a breathtaking view of the Himalayas in a short amount of time.

Without a doubt, the spring season, which runs from March to May, is one of the best times of year to go hiking in this area because the sky and the views are clear, the days are sunny and warm, and the mornings and evenings are cool. This is also the time of year when the vegetation is in full bloom. But the main gist of this blog is to provide you with information on the โ€œGhorepani Poon Hill Trek in Monsoon (July/August)โ€ time of the year which is more adventurous compared to other seasons.

Why Poon Hill Trek in Monsoon? (July-August)

So you may be wondering why choose to take this particular monsoon for a trek in Ghorepani Poon Hill ? There is something really wonderful that trekkers love about this monsoon trek inย Ghorepani Pun-hill, Annapurna Region, based on the reviews from the previously experienced trekkers who went there they really love the attention-getting view of the greener and livelier vegetation, green hills and forests which are washed clean by the pouring rain.

The mountains are regularly covered in rain clouds and foggy weather, nevertheless, because of the monsoon season and the low temperatures. And if we are fortunate enough and until the weather is on our side, we will get the chance to enjoy the unobstructed and priceless scene of snow-capped mountains that seem stunningly magnificent and eye-dazzling from the early sun rays, which is especially charming after a stormy night in this season. However, this just serves to highlight how priceless, calming, and gorgeous it is when the mountains finally come out through the clouds.

Trekkers who have visited the area in the past also respond that it is a unique experience to gaze out the doors and windows of the local tea houses and lodges at the magical and chilly pouring rain while sipping delicious and warm tea that has been prepared by the locals with lots of respect, love, and greetings.

Temperature and things to consider in Monsoon:

In comparison to other times of the year, the temperature is very moderate, ranging from 9 to 24 degrees Celsius, which drops with the rain. It is neither too cold nor too warm, making it ideal for tourists who prefer a moderate climate along with some rainy adventure, which has its own value and special place in the hearts of trekkers who experienced this trek in Nepal during this particular time of the year (July-August).

How much does it rain in Poon Hill?

Ghorepani Poon HIll Trek

It is quite improbable that there will ever be a day without rain, and most frequently, it rains every day but just for a short while. Monsoon does not necessarily indicate persistent, heavy rain unless and until we are incredibly unlucky. And if and until it is possible, we will organize your journey taking the weather into account with the help of weather forecasts and our experienced and seasoned guideโ€™s suggestions and guidance.

What other things should you prepare for Trek?

The most frequent factor to take into account or be ready for is slick terrain. For this, you need a solid pair of trekking shoes that are slip-resistant and appropriate for stone-paved to mildly muddy terrain but the slippery trails do not necessarily indicate that the trek is dangerous and you should be panicked about it. Keeping such a thing in mind, we are sure that the journey is safe enough for both inexperienced and experienced hikers, not to mention that we have our very experienced guide who will lead you through every challenge and step along the way.

Apart from the steep and slippery trails, you should also be ready for leeches along the trip in addition to the rocky, slippery terrain. While these leeches do not transmit any diseases, they can make you scratch or itch excessively around the bite wound, which could lead to a very mild infection. Therefore, having salt on hand can come in quite handy if you need to get them out of your shoes or clothing. However, it is advisable to avoid using the salt while the sponge is still in contact with your skin and biting because it can vomit into the wound and cause unnecessary health issues.
