Annapurna Circuit Trek in 5月: what to expect

May is the warmest month before the monsoon. Valleys are hot and humid, afternoon cloud and thunderstorms become common, and haze can hide distant peaks. Early May is still a good trekking window; by late May the pre-monsoon build-up brings rain on some days and flights can be delayed. High routes are mostly free of snow. Trekker numbers fall through the month, so lodges are less crowded. Start walking early each day, carry rain protection, and keep a spare day in your schedule for weather. Mornings are for walking and views; use the afternoons for rest, and do not push a high crossing into the hours when cloud and storms build.

Annapurna Circuit in May is warm in the valleys and afternoon cloud builds. Thorong La is mostly snow-free, and Manang sits in a rain shadow that stays drier than the foothills. Early May is the better window before monsoon rain reaches the lower road.
