Spring is the best time to go on the Ghandruk trekking trails. It usually lasts from March to May. Lush vegetation, a clear sky, and cool days characterize this season. The average temperature is 20-30 degrees Celsius. There are usually crowds on the routes this season, so it becomes hard to find accommodations. The lowest temperature is in March, and the highest is in May.

Summer Season

The summer Season in the Ghandruk trek lasts from June to August. It is such a hot climate in the summer season. But, since it is a hilly area, it is not intolerable. You can go on treks in light clothes this season. However, the problem that might occur in summer is rain. If it starts raining in the summer, the routes are complex and a little more challenging for you to trek. June, July, and August are the months that get the most rainfall.

The amount of rainfall in June is almost half that in July. July experiences the highest rainfall. This causes the number of trekkers to fall in summer. The average temperature of the summer season is 20-25 degrees Celsius.

Autumn Season

Autumn Season lasts from September to November and is the best time for the Ghandruk trek. The average temperature might fall around 9.6 degrees. But, it is not silent this season. Autumn is the season when various festivals occur. So many travelers also keep going on treks to enjoy such local culture and traditions.

Winter Season

The last is the winter season. This season is not preferable for the higher trek, but we can still tour the Ghandruk region. The weather is freezing. The temperature falls below zero degrees Celsius. So, bring enough warm clothes. But now, as well, there is fantastic scenery.

I took the best view of the Annapurna Ghandruk trek. After my trek, I went to the Chitwan National Park.

They both were spectacular, and I recommend them to anyone visiting Nepal. They arrange every aspect of pick-up and drop-off, food, accommodation, and activities.

I enjoyed my time here and owe much of that to Above the Himalayan Trekking.

Puru suggested a Ghandruk trek that suits me very well. All the guides that were with us were very professional. They knew everything about Nepal´s culture, and all the places I saw were excellent.

The agency officials were very polite and competent. The tour guide, Anju, was excellent, showing us Kathmandu, the temples, and the stupas; we loved her! During the trek, Phurba and Sunil were perfect.

They told us all about the small villages and the local culture. Even though we went during a season considered not the best time to visit Nepal, we were lucky.

The weather was great; it did not rain. I had a great view of Annapurna South, Machapuchare, and Annapurna III. Meeting the local people during the trekking was the most exciting experience.

Come back very soon!

I had a great trekking experience with Puru and his staff. I spent a day in Kathmandu exploring the city. After going for three days, Ghandruk treks through the Annapurna region.

The tour guide in Kathmandu was terrific. He was upbeat and friendly, had tons of good info, and made for a delightful day around the city.

On my Ghandruk trek, I went with Hari as my guide, and he was awesome. We are about the same age, and he was easy to joke with, so we got along incredibly. As well, he knew all the good places to stop for views. He chooses the best place to eat and to stay overnight.

Puru himself also did a great job checking in with me. He made sure I had everything I needed. He answered any questions and made sure everything went well. All the accommodations were always up to or exceeding expectations.

Thanks again, guys! I’ll get back there someday to see you again.

Annapurna Ghandruk Trek - Best trip
Star Star Star Star Star

I had only six days in Nepal, so I contacted Above the Himalayas to see if they could arrange a trip for me.

Puru promptly replied and organized everything, including internal flights, airport transfers, and hotels. I didn’t need to worry about a thing. I also found the prices quoted to be reasonable.

I did the three-day Ghandruk loop in the Annapurna region and had a fantastic time. My guide, Jyoti, was amiable and helpful.

I wasn’t very keen on my first hotel in Kathmandu (Shree Tibet), and when Puru came by to say hello, I mentioned it.

After my hike, he booked a different hotel for me when I returned to Kathmandu. Overall, I was pleased with the level of service. Puru listened to all of my comments and queries and took action in response.

That’s not always the case, and it was very much appreciated!

We only had time for a brief holiday (10 days) in Nepal—an idea to have at least a little trekking. We looked on their website for information on short trekking for kids.

They include ones suitable for kids (our daughter is 7 yrs). We contacted them with a brief outline of what we wanted to do. Ghandruk Trek is ideal for kids.

Surprisingly, we got the same evening response (despite the time difference). We enjoyed his comments/suggestions. From then on, it was some “fine-tuning,” and we felt very comfortable.

We’d arranged to begin & end Accommodation in Kathmandu and used their day trips. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, they agreed on everything. Even some very last-minute changes (such as squeezing in a flight to Mt Everest. They arrange it before departure for Pokhara) flight.

The accommodation organized was full as promised. (during trekking rooms with own bathroom). The guide had good English knowledge.

Both he and the porter were very friendly and helpful. We had a splendid holiday and recommended Above the Himalayas.
