When is the best time to do the 7-day Annapurna Base Camp trip?
The best time to trek the Annapurna Base Camp is during the peak seasons. Trekking in autumn (September – November ) is best just after the monsoon. Blue sky and green with the best scenery. Spring (Mar-May) second best time, which is considered to be pre-monsoon and before winter, respectively.
The weather is mildly hot during the day while hiking and cold at night depending on the altitude. There is also less chance of rain during this time and you will like to get clear days consecutively which is perfect for hiking. However, the area is crowded in peak seasons. People still trek in winter (Dec-Feb). Trekking in the Monsoon (June-August) is best for botanical keens but rain may affect your trek. The trail is quiet at this time.
