Essential Information

Starting this activity

This Luxury Lodge Trek in the foothills of the Annapurna region begins and ends at Pokhara, which can be accessed by a 25-minute flight or via 6 to 7 hours drive by car or tourist vehicles.

As the trip is categorized as a luxury trek activity, all of your plans are pre-booked by your travel agency in luxury lodges. Just ensure that you ask your guide to pack lunch if you are planning for an even slower walk and plenty of rest time before you reach your next destination.

Best time to do this luxury lodge trekking in Annapurna

The best time to do this trip is just after the monsoon is over. So from mid-September to November is the best month. The temperature is mild, and the view is clear and blue. Still okay till December. Second best in spring (March to May) is always recommended. Summer or monsoon season is wet and views are affected by monsoon clouds, but it is not bad doing this trip in winter (Dec to Feb).
