Ghandruk village has been a cultural hub of the Gurung community for over a century. Historically, many men from Ghandruk served in military forces such as those of Nepal, India, Great Britain, and the US Army, while women managed households. The village is also known locally as the Stone Village or Konda. It features scenic stone staircases and well-paved roads that trekkers find reminiscent of a path to paradise.

Accommodation and meals during the treks in the Annapurna region consist of comfortable tea houses or lodges along the trek. These establishments offer basic but cozy rooms with twin beds and shared bathrooms. They have bedding and blankets , ensuring you stay warm during the chilly nights at higher altitudes. While facilities may vary, most tea houses also feature dining areas where trekkers can enjoy hearty meals.

If you are taking this trek, it is always advisable to drek during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon season. The best time for the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November).

Spring

This season is perfect for trekking as it offers moderate temperatures and clear skies. The trekking trail is entire of blooming rhododendron flowers, adding vibrant colors to the journey. Also, during this season, you can witness the beautiful snow-capped mountains. However, the trials are a little more crowded. You should make a booking in advance.

Autumn

Another ideal season for trekking is when the weather is good: it offers the best temperature, clear skies, and little rainfall. Falling in the festive season, you can also experience the deep culture and tradition of the area. Similar to Spring, the trails are a little more crowded. But trekking in this season ensures a high level of safety.

The highest point, Poon Hill, at 3,210 meters, offers stunning panoramic views without posing significant altitude-related challenges compared to higher Himalayan treks.

You typically walk around 3 to 5 hours daily, with ample time to acclimate and enjoy the scenery. However, despite its moderate rating, you should prepare for varying weather conditions, including colder temperatures at higher elevations. Also, be mindful of basic trekking safety, such as staying hydrated and maintaining a steady pace. If you are looking for a beginner-friendly trek, then opt for the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek.

For the Ghorepani Poon Hill hike, it is essential to have travel insurance. It includes comprehensive medical coverage, emergency evacuation, and repatriation. This is crucial to get if you are trekking to the Himalayas. There is the chance that you may encounter potential hazards such as accidents, illnesses, and unexpected weather changes. A good travel insurance policy should specifically cover trekking activities up to the highest altitudes of the trek, including helicopter evacuation.

When you are selecting insurance, there are many things that you should carefully consider. This includes verifying coverage for activities at high altitudes, including helicopter rescue and medical expenses. Also, ensure that the policy is valid for the entire trek duration. But do not jump for the random company. You should always choose a reputable insurance provider. If you have the best insurance, it provides you peace of mind. Thus, you can immerse and enjoy the trek fully.

Prepare physically before the trek to handle the daily walking and occasional steep sections.
Take time to acclimatize to the altitude, ascending gradually and staying hydrated.
Carry essential items like sturdy hiking boots, warm clothing layers, rain gear, and a first aid kit.
Drink plenty of water and eat well-balanced meals to maintain energy levels.
Heed guidance from guides and locals regarding weather changes, trail conditions, and safety precautions.
Apply sunscreen, wear a hat, and use sunglasses to protect against sun exposure at higher altitudes.
Stick to designated paths to avoid getting lost and minimize environmental impact.
Ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance covering medical emergencies and helicopter evacuation if needed.

We received a very good treatment from Sappa and the team since day 1! He helped us with the trip schedule and gave us a good price for our pack, it is great to plan with Nepal Base Camps since the pack will cover all the expenses within the trek! (except for some personal purchases like beers, etc.). Our guide, Jayram was fantastic, he helped us discover the real Nepal as he talked to us about the culture of the region, more than a guide he ended up being our friend and made us feel almos like locals!! If you are looking for the best experience, Nepal Basecamp Treks is the way to go!

The Happiest Moment in Nepal

We deeply appreciate Sappa & our guide Suraj’s arrangement for our trip to Poon Hill & ABC trekking package. The view is stunning and the whole walking trek is pleasant with diverse nature seeing.

Making us feeling privilege while having this private trip, of course with reasonable price! Thanks to our porter Patan that work in Malaysia before and helping us all the time. Thanks Sappa, Suraj & Patan!?

Unforgettable Nepal Trekking: Exceptional Service and Hospitality

Im Oktober 2018 habe ich mit einer Freundin Nepal besucht. Über Sappa haben wir ein unvergessliches 6-tägiges Trekking über Gorephani in der Annapurna-Region gebucht. Die Trekking-Tour und Etappen wurden nach unseren Wünschen zusammengestellt sowie alle Angelegenheiten die Registrierung in der Annapurna-Region und den Transfer vom Hotel in Pokhara betreffend von Sappa und seinem Team erledigt. Auf der Trekking-Tour begleitete uns ein hochprofessionelles und zuvorkommendes Team (Bergführer Shyam und Träger Aita). Shyam informierte uns immer genau über den Verlauf der Trekkingetappen sowie die Region, Berg- / Pflanzenwelt und Dorfbewohner etc.. Die Lodges/Zimmer und Verpflegung entsprachen, besonders im Vergleich zu Gruppenreisen von deutschen Anbietern einem gehobenen Standard. Wir hatten in den Teahouses z.B. fast immer ein eigenes Bad mit Dusche und WC und Granatapfel zum Nachtisch J. Abschließend wurden wir zu einem traditionellen Dal Bhat Essen und einem farewell dinner eingeladen. Neben der beeindruckenden Trekking-tour organisierte uns Sappa einen Guide für eine Tageswanderung von Nargakot bis Changu Narayan. Für die Besichtigung des Kathmanduvalleys (Bhaktapur, Dhulikel, Panauti, Patan, Nargakot (Sunrise)) stand uns ein Fahrer zur Verfügung, der uns zuverlässig über Stock und Stein zu allen gewünschten Dörfern und Zielen fuhr. Dieser brachte uns letztendlich noch mit Zwischenstopps in Mankamana, Gorkha und 1 Übernachtung im bezaubernden Bergdörfchen Bandipur bis nach Pokhara. Auch unseren unvergesslichen und unbedingt empfehlenswerten Mount – Everest – Rundflug mit Transfer vom Hotel haben wir über Sappa gebucht. Ich bin sehr dankbar für die tolle Organisation und die Freundlichkeit von Sappa und seinem Team und kann diese ohne Einschränkungen wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Warm wishes from cold Germany. Catrin In English: Amazing trip to Nepal! Best service, high professionalism and friendliness. In October 2018, I visited Nepal with a friend. Over Sappa we booked an unforgettable 6-day trekking through Ghorepani in the Annapurna region. The trekking tour and stages were arranged according to our wishes and all matters concerning the registration in the Annapurna region and the transfer from the hotel in Pokhara regarding Sappa and his team were done. On the trekking tour we were accompanied by a highly professional and courteous team (mountain guide Shyam and porters Aita). Shyam always informed us exactly about the course of the trekking stages as well as the region, mountains / vegetation and villagers etc. The lodges / rooms and catering corresponded to a high standard, especially in comparison to group travel from German providers. We had tea in the teahouses, for example. almost always a private bathroom with shower and toilet and pomegranate for dessert J. Finally, we were invited to a traditional Dal Bhat food and a farewell dinner. In addition to the impressive trekking tour, Sappa organized a guide for a day hike from Nargakot to Changu Narayan. For the visit of the Kathmanduvalleys (Bhaktapur, Dhulikel, Panauti, Patan, Nargakot (Sunrise)) a driver was available, who reliably drove us over hill and dale to all desired villages and destinations. This brought us finally with stops in Mankamana, Gorkha and 1 night in the charming mountain village Bandipur to Pokhara. We also booked our unforgettable and absolutely recommendable Mount Everest sightseeing flight with transfer from the hotel via Sappa. I am very grateful for the great organization and the friendliness of Sappa and his team and can warmly recommend them without any restrictions. Warm wishes from cold Germany.

Fabulous Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Nepal Base Camp Treks

After reading so many online reviews on different trekking companies.We contacted Sappa Lama (Manging Director) for inquiring about a trekking the Annapurna Base Camp. This was our second visit to Nepal. We are age of 56 and 58 from Germany and without the help of guide and porter impossible to complete this adventure trip.My First Trek to Nepal was in April, 2002 with a different agency at Thamel. After receiving several queries and descriptions of about the trek we focused on Nepal Base Camp Treks. I had done a research on where to stay in Kathmandu and when I asked Sappa Lama where he recommended he suggested Hotel Taleju Boutique. The place was nice, i was interested in. His airport representative met us at the arrival gate of airport with our name list and private vehicle to transfer us the hotel. Sappa and porter Suraj were great to travel with. They took care of all the tedious details so that we could enjoy holiday in Nepal. It was a fabulous journey in my life and we are planning to come back next year to trek with Sappa.

Exceptional Family Treks with Sappa and Nepal Base Camp Treks

In October 2014, 2015 I completed another wonderful family trek in Nepal to Langtang and Gosainkund lakes thanks to Sappa and his company “Nepal Base Camp Treks”. I first met Sappa in 2008 on a family Gokyo Lakes Trek and EBC Trek. At that time, I was greatly impressed by the highly professional approach he took to mountain guiding. I’m very happy to report that in 2014 nothing has changed. Sappa continues to maintain an exceptionally high standard of service and this together with his warm, generous and engaging personality ensured everyone in our party had an amazing time during their visit to Nepal. We were treated to fantastic traditional Nepalese food and cultural performances at welcoming and farewell dinners in Kathmandu; expertly and safely guided over 14 days of trekking through an incredibly beautiful landscape; and provided with detailed and knowledgeable commentary during our tours of all the main sites around Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan. I’m very happy to report that the organisation of our transport, sightseeing, accommodation and trekking arrangements was first rate and that over three weeks everything ran very smoothly indeed. Overall, Sappa‘s vast guiding experience and mountain knowledge ensured that our itinerary was structured in such a way that it provided us with a good deal of flexibility and ample time to absorb the magnificent mountain views while trekking, as well as not being rushed on our tours of Kathmandu and surrounds. On this trip, a few in our party were first time trekkers. What a fantastic introduction to trekking in the Nepal Himalaya they received thanks to the great care and attention to every little detail provided by Sappa and his fabulous support crew Manoj, Shankar and Suraj. Thank you Sappa,for also keeping up the tradition of supplying us with bananas and chocolate bars. I must also mention that the pomegranate seeds the crew provided to us on our way to Langtang was an unexpected but greatly appreciated treat. Importantly, from a safety aspect, we were more than pleased to find that Nepal Base Camp Treks used modern four wheel drive vehicles to take us to the start of our trek in Syabrubesi and also for the return journey from Dhunche. We were also very impressed to observe that Sappa and his company take very good care of their support crews. If you are planning to visit Nepal, I have no hesitation in recommending Sappa and his company “Nepal Base Camp Treks” for trouble free trekking and touring. You will not be disappointed. I can’t wait for my next trek with Sappa, which will be around Manaslu trek.
