                    Poonhill yoga treks can be done throughout the year with the needed preparations. However, the ideal time for the Yoga trek to Poon Hill is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons.

                    These seasons offer the best weather conditions, with clear skies, mild temperatures, and stable trekking trails. The spring season presents a trail full of beautiful blooming rhododendron flowers, adding vibrant colors to the landscape.

                    The Poon Hill Yoga trekking is considered moderate in terms of difficulty. While it involves some uphill and downhill sections, it is suitable for individuals with a basic level of fitness and beginner trekkers as well.

                    The trek includes daily walks of around 4-6 hours, and the pace can be adjusted according to your fitness level and preferences. The challenging parts of the trek include steep ascents and descents, particularly when climbing Poon Hill from Ghorepani.
