  Spring trekking season

  1 mrt – 15 meiWandelseizoenDrukBoek vroeg

  Lakeside is a staging post rather than a destination for two months: Poon Hill, Mardi Himal and the Annapurna Base Camp trail all start from here. Warmer than autumn and hazier by the week.

  Rhododendron above Ghorepani

  15 mrt – 30 apr · meestalWilde bloemen & bloei

  The forest between Ulleri and Ghorepani turns red and pink for about six weeks, which is the whole reason the Poon Hill walk is a spring trip rather than an autumn one.
