best time for annapurna base camp trek.

best time for annapurna base camp trek - Due to coincidence in April 2017, a heavy dollop of glacier fall down at the Machhapuchhre base camp, resulting very few tea houses were damaged and the trekking trail was blocked for some days. That’s Annapurna base camp trek-an amazing trek that vows two totally different experiences in its two seasons. Throughout, April month in Nepal there is too little chances of heavy snow fall. So if the snow of Annapurna that attracts you, mark for the May-June months which has great possibility of snowfall making best time to annapurna base camp trek.  While these months, the whole Annapurna Region along with valleys calmly sleeps that covered in a feathery blanket of snow, decorated by rushed waterfalls that soon turned into iced. For a short-lived, the entire panorama of Annapurna region soaks with a mild mist. However, in the eventual half of the year the valley escape from its snow blanket and come out to life. Mist departs and clear blue skies open up. As far as trekkers can see breathtaking mountains reveal personally everywhere. And to witness the sunrise and sunset is simply effervescent of breathtaking colours daubed in the sky.

A surprise to photographer                                      

One of our trekker tasking as photographer, coupled with us to make swift plan towards the 4,130 meters of Annapurna base camp trek in September. He had annapurna base camp trekking best time in Nepal on his list of places to visit and was planning for April-May. He had viewed considerable guises of Annapurna valley coated in snow, and assumed, that is why most of the trekkers select best time to trek annapurna base camp in March-June. He speaks, in the second season there were sporadic images in the Annapurna base camp trek. He had detected the entire Annapurna region as a flush photograph.

However, September and October just as  annapurna base camp trek best time, what he had seen is just caused him great pleasure. He evokes valley wrapped in a lush green, the mountain scenery of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massif, paddy field, yak pasture land, rhododendron forests, numerous cascading waterfalls and huge cliff. His photographs unveiled the split of colours he noted while sunrise and sunset at Poon Hill top. Overall, 10 days trek to Annapurna base camp with Machhapuchhre base camp trek in September-October is like a book waiting to be opened.

Secretary waterfalls

In April-May the mist hovering over the Annapurna valleys is far gone by the monsoon rains. The vistas come out fine and bright wherein trekkers to Annapurna base camp live their dream by taking pictures and they will force to feel rejoicing of the heavenly place. Hours by hours, trekkers meet up and playful with hundreds of waterfalls flowing into Marshyangdi and Kaligandaki River from both sides of the Annapurna valley, which hit loudly in front of the trekkers and turn into gigantic cascade of the region. What a wonderful sight appear to be falling from the clouds.

A level of easygoing trek

The Machhapuchhre base camp is a crucial base camp. If trekkers camp here, next day they can easily make Annapurna base camp pass-crossing day into two and have a much more relaxed trek. Sorry to say, if there is humongous amounts of snow make it impossible to camp at Machhapuchhre base camp in April-May. That makes the uphill climbing day up to Annapurna base camp really demanding but this hard meet up surely gives a sense of great achievement for everyone. However, this changes in the second season.  September-October is in short supply of snow, making Machhapuchhre base camp a wonderfully conformable campsite.

The uphill climbing day is cut short, making Annapurna base camp trek a level of easygoing trek. After leaving from Machhapuchhre base camp campsite just 2 hours climb, trekkers will welcome by the high elevation base of Mt Annapurnas. In fact, trekkers will see the intact display of snow –capped mountains from here like, Annapurna south, Annapurna I, III, IV, II, mt. Dhaulagiri, Himchuli and Machhapuchhre (fish tailed mountain) in a row. Thereby, that’s what is unlike in the second season to Annapurna base camp. Permanently snow covered mountains views, gushing waterfalls, verdant vegetation, overgrown forests and refined Machhapuchhre base camp is what adds a thrilling experience to Annapurna valley in September-October. It is a taste of nature that rests unexplored by many till today. So, if you have a desire for trekking in Nepal Himalayas with excellent views of hills and mountains coated with snow then only choose autumn and spring season as annapurna base camp trek best season. Skyline treks and expedition mindfully design your Annapurna base camp trek itinerary in a very attractive trekking package that surely to win your hearts.
