THE IDEAL SEASON TO VISIT
The best seasons to travel to Poonhill are spring (March and April) and fall (October and November). These seasons are quite dry and warlike. It's not advised to hike during the monsoon season (May to September) due to the higher risk of landslides and floods. The winter months (December, January, and February) are the driest and coldest months of the year. Since the Poon Hill trek is not very steep, it is unlikely that you'll get much snow even in the winter.
