Easy Access for Starting and Ending: This adventure can be easily started and ended in Pokhara, a well-known tourist destination. It is convenient to reach Pokhara from Kathmandu by bus, car, or plane, so you won't have to worry about transportation.

Spectacular Mountain Views: The Annapurna Panorama Trek offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas from various vantage points, including Ghorepani, Poon Hill, Tadapani, and Ghandruk.

Notable peaks visible include Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Him Chuli, Nilgiri Himal, Dhampus Peak, Machhapuchare (Fish Tail), and Dhaulagiri.

Pokhara serves as both the starting and concluding point for treks and mountaineering expeditions that offer stunning views of the Annapurna mountain range. Our route traverses elevated hills adorned with beautiful forests of rhododendrons and pine trees, transforming the landscape into a natural paradise during the spring and summer months when the flowers are in full bloom. The journey passes through several agricultural villages, including Tirkhedhunga, Hille, and Ulleri, before arriving at Ghorepani, which serves as the gateway to the renowned Poon Hill hike.

Poon Hill, situated at an altitude of 3,210 meters, represents the highest point of the Annapurna panorama trek. This location provides breathtaking views of the sunrise across a magnificent range of mountains. Our pleasant journey traverses a beautiful rhododendron forest, culminating in this remarkable trek at Nayapul, following a visit to the expansive Gurung village of Ghandruk.

This trek comes highly recommended for all those interested in experiencing the beauty of the Annapurna range and enjoying breathtaking mountain views from Poon Hill, Ghorepani, Tadapani, and Ghandrung.

Essential Information

Do You Pick Up From The Kathmandu Airport?

Upon arrival in Nepal at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport, our airport representative will receive you and then transfer you to your respective hotel. Afternoon or evening time, we will review and discuss much information regarding your trip itinerary and included/excluded services as per the trip itinerary chosen, at the same time introducing your guide who will help you with the final preparation for your trek.

What is it like at Kathmandu and Pokhara Hotel?

We provide tourist-standard hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara with accommodation based on a twin-sharing basis with breakfast. If you are trekking on a group joining basis, you will share a room with someone of the same gender from your group. If you prefer a single room supplement in Kathmandu and on the trek, you can request the single supplement (which will be an extra cost besides the trip price stated). We provide deluxe star category hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara. For more details and information, please feel free to contact us.

What Kind of Accommodation Is Available During the Annapurna Panorama Trek?

We provide accommodation in tea houses (mountain lodges). A Tea House is a combination of a guest house, restaurant, and social hangout. The rooms have twin beds and little additional furniture, like small tables or chairs. Blankets are generally provided (we recommend that you carry your sleeping bags). Most bathrooms are commonly with squatting (Asian) toilets or of western comfort with sitting toilets. Most Tea Houses/lodges have running water facilities. Most of the lodges have hot water for showers, but with an extra charge for using hot showers.

TREKKING FOOD

During the trekking session, full-board meals are included (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). We provide food from these local lodges/tea houses as per the choices on the menu. Breakfast and dinner are provided at the same tea house/lodge, while lunch would be on the trail. Every Tea House serves the traditional Nepali meal, Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of other food items, including rice, seasonal vegetables, noodles, potatoes, and soups. The lodge also serves western foods such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Soft drinks, snacks, and beer are available in most Tea Houses restaurants. A variety of cereals, bread, and egg dishes are generally available for breakfast.

HEALTH AND FITNESS

Health and physical fitness are essential aspects of travel, especially when participating in trekking and hiking. If you lack previous trekking experience, we recommend starting with morning walks or cycling for several weeks or months before booking your trip with us. If you do have prior trekking and climbing experience, that will be a valuable asset for the trek you choose.

The highest altitude on this trip is 3,210 meters above sea level. The trek involves several ups and downs, passing through local villages, farmlands, terraces, and riversides. Participants should have enough energy to walk for 4 to 6 hours a day. While the trek is primarily non-technical, moderate health and fitness are still required.

We strongly advise all travelers to consult with their medical doctor before embarking on their journey and to undergo a regular check-up. Please provide us with your medical report when booking your trip.

OUR EXPERIENCED TEAM

Nepal's mountainous country walk takes you to a remote region. It is necessary that you are accompanied by experienced and qualified guides and leaders for a safe journey and to make the trip a success. We at Nepal Spirit Adventure employ native trekking guides and porters who are trained and qualified for this type of trip and have worked with us for a long time.

Our guide provides a lot of local information and offers you advice on how to use your free time and coordinates the day-to-day events of the tour, although (sometimes) he might need you to understand that if things do not go according to plan. Our trek guides are fully trained and licensed by the Nepal Government, and certified by TAAN and the Nepal Mountaineering Association. All our trekking and climbing guides are well qualified and highly experienced, with 9- 10 years in this job. We provide training for our staff yearly on medical and climbing, with their efficiency, cheerful attitude, providing help, information, and meeting the needs of guests of various nationalities.

Assuring that all our trips are well managed by an expert team of tourism professionals, all our guides have a good knowledge regarding the culture and customs of the routes on trekking and tours, share experiences and cultural insights of the country that are missed out in travel guide books. During your time with us, you will have time to learn Nepali phrases and other cultural aspects during the journey. As we organize varied treks in the Nepal Himalaya, on group trekking we provide a trek leader with an assistance leader on each trek, depending upon the size of the group.

This ensures safe travel with us as our guide/assistance guides get any health medical problem, we still have other main guides and leaders to run the trip smoothly as per our standard itinerary. To make the trip enjoyable, we provide one guide to support and carry your bags among two people with one Sherpa helper in certain conditions.

ELECTRONIC ITEMS

We can recharge your battery and devices with electricity or solar power sources. In Nepal, 22-0 240 volts 50 MHZ (50 Cycles per Second) power is supplied. Just need to have a plug adaptor in case of socket fitting, which you can buy in Kathmandu before the trip, since the plugs in Nepal might be different. You might have to pay a small fee/hour for using the recharging facilities.

GROUP SIZE

We organize any route of Nepal trek with a fixed departure basis or a private trip. The minimum group size would be two, and the maximum group size is ten or more on request. We can also organize a private trip for a solo person with a single supplement cost. Otherwise, join our estimated group departure dates available on the online market or ask us for your personally suitable flexible dates, and we will open group dates on the same date.
