What is the best time for Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek?
The Autumn season (September to November) is considered to be the best time as this is a peak season for trekking in Nepal. But you have to be well-prepared during this period as the trekking trails will be busy.
Similarly, March to May (Spring Season) is also considered to be the best time as the days are warm & sunny. The vegetation will be in full bloom at this time of year. It offers a beautiful view of the Rhododendron forest also. There will be no rain during this time and the skies will be clear.
June to September is a monsoon season & during this time the snow-capped mountains will look stunning. During this time there will be fewer visits so you do not have to worry about accommodation. The trails will be opened during the winter season (December to February) too. However warm clothes are a must; because temperatures will drop to freezing in the mornings and evenings.
For Volunteer:
Pristine Nepal Treks & Expedition has been coordinating for free volunteering in Nepal since its established. Many of our clients ask for volunteering. They would like to help the needy people of Nepal while they travel to Nepal.
Whenever they search for helping people as a volunteer, they always find NGOs and INGOs who charge big money for it. So, we thought of why this cannot be free. They will help. They will contribute to needy people. Since we started to coordinate for free volunteering in Nepal. We built up a homepage for free volunteering https://free-volunteering-nepal.org/ and of course, many people started to come here.
How does it work?
Volunteers pay for their food and accommodation only which makes it cheap also. Volunteers only need to pay USD 10 per day per person in Kathmandu directly to the host family. The host family provides at least two times Nepali food, accommodation, WIFI, etc. in a day. And volunteers pay Nepali Rupee 800 (USD 8) per day per person directly to the host family on the mountain. The host family provides at least two times of food and accommodation in a day.
Similarly, you are requested to respect the Nepali culture and customs. And you have to enter the host family house before 9:00 in the evening.
