Annapurna Circuit in April??

Hello,

My husband and I are planning on doing the Annapurna Circuit in April 2009. However, we have heard contradictory things about the weather during this time. We have been told that it often get too hot for trekking comfortably and that thick haze can affect the views. Can anyone let me know their experiences with trekking the Annapurna in April?

Thanks!

Namste! From Kathmandu/Nepal

March/April/May and October/November/December are the best times for the trekking in Annapurna region. April/May is warmer than October/November/December. There is good weather in April almost times. Of course, there might be haze sometime and rain in the afternoon in April. There is clear weather all the morning.

Unless you are unlucky with the weather this should be a very good time to trek round Annapurna. There is a low altitude start from Begnas Tal which I think goes down to about 300 meters above sea level which is quite sticky but you don%26#39;t have to start from there. Above 4000 meters it gets quite cold at night and also in the morning before the the sun gets up. There may be some snow on the path over the Thorung pass. It%26#39;s necessary to take warm clothes to be comfortable for the section above Manang. I now take the clothes advised by Mepali guides and it is much cheaper to buy these in Nepal than here in the UK (it may be different in the US).

Have a good trip.
