Pokhara & the Annapurnas in July
Peak monsoon. Rice planting fills the terraces around Begnas and Rupa lakes and the hills are very green, but mountains hide behind cloud for days. Seti river runs high and fast through its gorge. Pokhara works for museums, cafes and lake mornings between showers. We do not recommend southern Annapurna treks this month.
