Essential Info

Best time to go

The best time to go for the Annapurna Base Camp with Ghorepani Poonhill trekking is during March to May and September to November. The weather conditions are generally stable during these months. The nights can be cooler but the daytime temperature ranges from 15-20 degrees Celsius. 

If you can prepare yourself for the challenging conditions, then you can also go during the monsoon or winter seasons. The monsoon season is characterized by heavy rainfall, muddy trails, and potential landslides. Whereas the winter season comes with cold temperatures and snowfall. 

Accommodation and amenities

During the ABC with Ghorepani Poonhill trek, you can expect the wide range of food and accommodation options that cater to varying preferences and budgets. The accommodation options include teahouses, guesthouses, camping, and luxury lodges (mostly in cities like Pokhara and Kathmandu). 

In the teahouses, you will get basic amenities such as shared bathrooms, beds with mattresses, and communal dining areas. As you ascend to the higher elevations, the facilities become more basic. In guesthouses, you can get private rooms and more comfortable bedding. However, it is still less luxurious than that of urban hotels. 

The majority of people who go camping do so because they want an extra adventurous experience. The crews are setting up tents and preparing the meals. Whereas, the luxury lodges are only found in cities and offer luxurious facilities with private rooms with attached bathrooms. 

Food Options

While in cities, you will have the diverse option ranging from local dishes to international cuisines. Some of the popular Nepali dish options include Dal Bhat Tarkari, kheer, yomari, pulau, Momos, Thakali Khana, sekuwa, gundruk, kwati, and so on. These items are delicious as well as nutritious. 

The international dishes that you will have the option to choose are pasta, pizza, and soups at lower altitudes. As you ascend to the higher altitudes, the options become limited as the materials to make the dishes are difficult to transport and preserve. 

Difficulty level of the trek

The difficulty level of the ABC and Ghorepani poon hill trekking is graded as moderate. This trek is accessible to the trekkers with a basic level of fitness. The ABC with Ghorepani Poonhill Trek Itinerary doesn't include technical climbing. 

The itinerary days are 12 days in which you have to trek and hike up to 7-8 days in total. The daily trekking hours range from 5-7 hours. The paths that you have to trek include steep climbs, rocky paths, and significant elevation changes. 

In addition, the maximum altitude you will reach during the trek is 4,130 meters (13,550 feet) at ABC. And the weather conditions can also add some extra challenges. So, if you prepare well, this trek can be the best trek of your life. 

Altitude sickness issues

The altitude sickness is an important thing to take care of when going trekking to the high altitudes up to 4,130 meters (13,550 feet). Even though the Annapurna Base Camp with Ghorepani Poonhill trekking itinerary is designed to prevent the issue, some trekkers still may be at risk. 

The risk increases as the trekkers ascend quickly without taking breaks, not drinking enough water, having nutritious meals, smoking, or having alcohol. Due to these activities, the symptoms can be seen, including headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. 

If these symptoms are seen, immediately inform your guide and take necessary medications. The symptoms may escalate sometime. In that case, the individual needs to descend quickly to the lower altitude level. So, stay hydrated, ascend gradually, and take breaks if needed to prevent these issues. 

Flight, Transportation and Luggage

When you are planning for the ABC with the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek, you should have a visa and passport. There is availability of an arrival visa for some countries in the airport, while others have to book previously. You must have planned transportation, pre-booked flights, and packed luggage. You can carry luggage weighing only 23 kg and a handbag on your international flight to Nepal.

If you travel to Pokhara via plane, then your luggage must be within 15 kg. We will start helping you with transportation as soon as you arrive at Tribhuwan International Airport. We provide transportation in Kathmandu and Pokhara until you reach the start of the trekking trail. We will provide private bus, car, and jeep facilities throughout the road journey.

The Annapurna Base Camp with Ghorepani Poonhill trekking cost changes based on your preferences of travel mediums. 

Toilet and shower facilities

Most of the teahouses and lodges at higher altitudes feature squat toilets. These toilets are shared among other fellow trekkers. At lower altitudes, you may see the western-style toilet. It is advisable to carry your own toilet paper and hygiene supplies, as these items may not be provided in all toilets of teahouses. 

In the case of the shower facility, most of the teahouses offer the hot shower facility with an additional cost. These costs are not added to the Annapurna Base Camp with Ghorepani Poonhill Trek Cost inclusions, so you have to manage the expenses by yourself. Or you can use wet wipes or dry shampoo as alternatives for maintaining the hygiene. 

Telephone, Internet facility, and Electricity

The lower altitudes as well as cities have good network coverage, electricity facilities, and good-speed internet available. The overall cost is also low. However, as we ascend to the higher altitudes, the network coverage becomes less, the internet becomes slow and the electricity power transitions into solar charge. 

At higher altitudes, the only method of charging the phones or other devices is via generator or solar batteries. And also, these facilities cost you additional money and are not included in the ABC with Ghorepani Poonhill Trek Cost inclusions.
