Nature is like a canvas that behaves like a kids’ coloring book. One moment, it’s blue; the other, it’s turning red or grey without prior notice.
The Poon Hill Circuit Trek in Nepal is one of such canvases, where the canvas becomes a different color as the seasons pass. This place is a wonder of nature in the heart of the Himalayas that you must behold once in a lifetime.

From trails filled with rhododendron blooms to crisp yellow leaves of autumn, Dancing leaves in the rain to frozen solitude of winter, the Poon Hill Trek offers it all.
So, leave your busy lives behind and let’s uncover the seasonal thrills of this majestic trek.
Spring on the Poon Hill Trek
Spring is the ‘season of rebirth’. Wherever spring hits, trees stouten up, leaves turn green, and the flowers bloom. Certainly, the Poon hill circuit trek goes through the same transformation. Throughout this season, you can sense the dense rhododendron forests to gloom; the trails fill up with green with a sprinkle of bright blooms all around the trek.

The mornings in spring are crisp, afternoons feel warm and inviting, and at the same time, the nights are cold and dark. But there’s a feeling of strange warmth that attracts trekkers around the world in this season. A feeling to tilt one’s life upside down, “a feeling of rebirth!”
This season helps the villages to come to life, too. All the locals tend to their fields, and the children come out to play in the sunshine. The air carries the feelings of every living being; yes, “Their chants of rebirth.”
Summer / Monsoon Season on Poon Hill Trek
Summer and rainy season, although not as much praised as spring, still is a heavily underrated season. Hear me out: The Sun might be bright, temperatures peak, sometimes it rains too, and the treks become slippery, but there’s this profoundly refreshing feeling about hiking amidst this cascading weather. A hike through waterfalls and mist covered mountains. There’s an indescribable feeling of refreshment in this season which can’t be felt in any other season.
Another highlight of this season is that everything is brimming with life! Valleys are at their best; frogs croak in rhythm with raindrops, and streams swell with crystal clear water. The clouds create a dramatic interplay with the peaks, sometimes resulting in jaw dropping scenes. All such scenes make up this unpredictable season and add to its charm.
Autumn on Poon Hill Trek
Ah! Autumn. The darling of trekkers. As soon as the monsoon bids farewell, the skies clear up and reveal the Himalayan peaks. The misty season comes to an end, and at last, you see the glory of Poon Hill revealed in its true majesty. The trek turns into a dreamland, where you can enjoy perfect visibility and incredible weather.

The forests complement this mood of freedom and shine brightly in a golden hue. The air turns cold yet feels warm at the same time. The villages and residents buzz with activity as locals prepare to harvest for the season. You can feel the sense of camaraderie in the air during this season as the villagers unite in one place.
All of a sudden, the signs of adventurers become imminent. People from all around the world start pouring into Nepal to behold the beauty of Poon Hill.
So, what about the Sunrise? In simple words, It’s dramatic. The interplay of light and shadow as the sun kisses the peaks is so stunning it almost feels staged. It looks like a scene right out of a fairy tale. Seriously, if you’re someone who seeks perfection, autumn is your season to rock!
Winter Trek on Poon Hill Circuit
Finally, the ‘season of solitude,’ winter. On Poon Hill Circuit Trek, winter is raw, silent, and utterly magical. Snow dusted trails, frozen leaves, misty winds, foggy and snow capped peaks are truly a scene straight out of fiction. This season is a sign of solitude. But whose solitude? The trekkers who climb these peaks? Or the villagers that live there?
No, It’s the solitude of nature!
The hills wear a cover of snow and demand to be left alone. But from a trekkers perspective this extreme weather, the mountain’s desire to be left alone, and the cape of snow all seem romantic and beautiful.
Yes, although the number of trekkers going to Poon Hill Trek drops dramatically in winter, but some true nature loving knuckleheads still go there to chase their dreams.
Your Best Season?
The beauty of Poon Hill Circuit Trek shines brightly in every season. The right season appeals to the right eye, which appreciates its characteristics. You can’t declare one season to be the best, as all of them carry their own charm and appeal as do many of the most popular treks in Nepal.
