Questions travellers ask
Is January a good time to visit Annapurna?
January is cold and quiet, with some of the clearest air of the year. Lower treks such as Ghandruk, Poon Hill and the luxury lodge route are very good: sunny days, frosty dawns and empty trails. Snow can fall above 3,000 m, so Annapurna Base Camp needs care above Deurali, and Thorong La is often closed after storms. Lodges stay open on the popular lower routes, while some at High Camp and Tilicho Base Camp close for winter.
What is the weather like in Annapurna in January?
Ghorepani −6 to 8 °C, Pokhara 7 to 20 °C, dry with clear mornings. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
