Questions travellers ask
Is December a good time to visit Annapurna?
December brings cold, clear and quiet conditions. The lower treks are lovely, with sharp views and few crowds, and the Gurung villages celebrate Tamu Lhosar, the Gurung new year, around 30 December. Annapurna Base Camp is possible with warm gear. Thorong La can close after the first heavy snowfalls, so Circuit plans need flexibility from mid-December, and Tilicho Lake is frozen.
What is the weather like in Annapurna in December?
Ghorepani −4 to 10 °C, Pokhara 8 to 21 °C, dry, clear, cold nights. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
