What Influences Mosquito Activity Around Poon Hill?

Several factors influence mosquito populations around Ghorepani and Poon Hill. The region's elevation, ranging from 2,500 to 3,200 meters, generally limits mosquito breeding compared to lower tropical areas. However, the monsoon season brings heavy rainfall, creating ideal breeding grounds. Temperature and humidity also play crucial roles. Here's what impacts mosquito activity:

Monsoon rains increase standing water.
Dense rhododendron forests provide shaded resting spots.
Warmer temperatures speed up mosquito life cycles.

Understanding these factors helps trekkers anticipate mosquito presence. Learn more about local climate patterns at the Nepal Meteorological Department.
