Three-day outlook
Open-Meteo weather model, downscaled to 3,611 m. DHM publishes no machine-readable mountain forecast, so this comes from a model rather than from Nepal's meteorological service — treat it as indicative.

Hazards
Only the hazards that apply to this route are listed. Individual hazards keep the meteorological wording — advisory, watch, warning — and the worst of them is what sets the route's state above.
No snow forecast in the next 3 days
Open-Meteo model forecast at 3611 m. A forecast, not an observation, and not an official DHM warning — mountain snowfall is notoriously hard to model.
Forecast from the Open-Meteo weather model — not an observation· Observed 8 Nov 2026
Avalanche reported 9 km away 9 days ago
Avalanche at Shey Phoksundo Rural Municipality-99 — logged on Nepal's national disaster portal (BIPAD/NDRRMA). This is a record of an event that already happened near the route, not a forecast.
Reported incident — already happened near the route, not a forecast· Observed 31 Oct 2026
Rainfall too low to raise landslide risk (0.0 mm in 24 h)
Estimated from DHM rain gauge readings using our own thresholds. This is not an official DHM landslide warning.
Estimated by us from DHM readings — not an official warning· Observed 8 Nov 2026, 11:55 NPT· Juphal Airport, Dunai· low confidence
No river gauge in this trail’s catchment
The nearest gauges are tens of kilometres downstream in a different catchment, so they would say nothing useful about this trail.
No source available
Gusts forecast below 40 km/h over the next 3 days
Open-Meteo model forecast at 3611 m. DHM has no anemometer at this altitude, so this is modelled, not measured.
Forecast from the Open-Meteo weather model — not an observation· Observed 8 Nov 2026
No DHM rainfall threshold crossed (0.0 mm in 24 h)
Rain gauges above the snow line under-measure snow heavily, so a low reading here does not rule out heavy snowfall.
DHM’s own threshold, measured on DHM’s own instrument· Observed 8 Nov 2026, 11:55 NPT· Juphal Airport, Dunai· low confidence
No magnitude 4.5+ earthquake near this route in the last 14 days

DHM operates very few stations in this area, so the nearest readings come from well outside the route. Treat everything on this page as indicative only.
