Weather Conditions in March
change startMarch is the start of the ‘Spring Season’ when temperatures begin to rise from their winter lows. By the end of March, temperatures are significantly warmer at lower elevations and hot air from the valleys tend to create clouds in the mountains during the afternoons. Mornings are generally clear, with the clearest weather coming just after sunrise. At high altitudes, while generally warmer than the previous months snow is still possible, and heavy snow storms in March are not unheard of. Mornings and nights are still cold.

Annapurna Sanctuary via Ghorepani (Poon Hill) and via Short Modi Khola Start led by Lali (Laxmi) Malla
Great place, although we couldn’t see much due to clouds!

Annapurna Sanctuary via Ghorepani (Poon Hill) led by Ang Tsering Sherpa
The side trip to Poon Hill was beautiful although the view at Khopra was more dramatic and far less crowded. If we did the Khopra trek again, I probably would not go to Poon Hill as well.

Ghandruk Loop Australian Camp Out and Back and via Ghorepani (Poon Hill) led by SAMIKSHYA CHAUDHARY
The final ascent from Ghorepani to Poon Hill is not as difficult as some other parts of the trek, and is certainly worth doing for the spectacular views of the sunrise over the Annapurna range from the top.
