Questions travellers ask
Is May a good time to visit Annapurna?
May is warm and increasingly hazy, with pre-monsoon cloud and showers building through the month. High routes remain good: Manang, Thorong La and Tilicho are at their warmest, and Tilicho Lake starts to thaw. Lower trails become hot and humid below 2,000 m, and mountain views from Poon Hill are less reliable. It is a reasonable month for the Circuit and Pisang Peak, less so for photography of distant peaks.
What is the weather like in Annapurna in May?
Pokhara 20 to 30 °C, Manang 0 to 17 °C, hazy, pre-monsoon showers. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
