Essential Information

Annapurna Poon Hill Trek difficulty

Annapurna Poon Hill Trek is considered a moderately easy trek in Nepal. In short, Even if you are a first-time hiker or fall under any age group, this trek to the Annapurna Sanctuary is an all-rounder trek catering to every enthusiastic individual.

The first half of this combined trip visits the Ghorepani Poon Hill with the straightforward track along some staircase with several ascends and descends of course! But, it wouldn’t be a big deal. As it doesn’t have an uneven terrain and leg-trembling long-duration hike.

The second half goes for Annapurna Base Camp after descending to Tadapani, where the trails consist of numerous up and downhill with some rugged steep sections along the way. However, in the case of an inclined uphill walk, it is not difficult but surely demands some pre-preparation and a basic level of fitness.

If you are looking forward to starting an expedition to Annapurna Base Camp Trekking, covering 2 major expeditions then make sure to engage in some sort of physical strengthening exercises for 1 month such as jogging, running, swimming, or even walking by staircase completing the 10,000 steps each day. And, Yes! You can take your kids along with you for sure as it is a beginner, family-friendly hike.

What are the Risks of Altitude Sickness on this trek, and what preventive guidelines to follow?

Well! After crossing an elevation over 3000 meters, altitude sickness also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is quite expected. Although this Annapurna Base Camp Trek altitude does reach a height of 4000 meters, the risk of AMS is relatively low. You might be concerned why is it so. This itinerary is set for 13 days with the pro expert team, where every day there is a significant rise in altitude so, we can gradually adapt to the rising elevation and ascend without facing the difficulty of AMS. Hence, the elevation rise is controlled keeping in mind such risks that might arise.

Having said that “Prevention is always better than cure and regret”, some simple basic guidelines will surely help you to avert such conditions:

Make sure to hydrate yourself with 3 liters of water per day, if possible. If that sounds too much then, have soupy food for lunch and dinner that would help to nourish the body and avoid mouth dryness.
If you are quite concerned or unsure about the AMS, then carry "Diamox" which alters the blood PH and increases respiratory rate which is most effective for non-experienced hikers.
Do not rush things and walk at your pace slowly adjusting to elevation shift, if you feel any mild symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, nausea (feeling like vomiting and headache), dizziness (losing control or faintness), and most importantly, insomnia (feeling complete uneasy to get sleep) then, please inform the guide quickly as soon as possible.
Carry gingery food items such as dry gingers (found in marts) or ginger soup, it makes the body warm and avoids the coldness of rising elevation.

Best time for Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The most suitable span of the year, that anyone can undertake this trek to the Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal is the whole year as it is an all-seasonal hike. However, the best seasons are Spring (March-April) and Autumn (October-November). The weather blends perfectly with the climatic conditions bringing a temperature condition to hike on with less precipitation i.e. low rainfall, and snowfall.

During the Spring, the whole Annapurna trail is adorned with blooming rhododendron forests with many other wildflowers such as snow lotus, primula, and oaks that bring a thriving color of red and pink to the boring landscape. Not only that, as it is the time of plantation season in the Himalayas, the views become even more pleasant where locals are engaging in the vegetation process of many crops offering a unique insight into the journey.

Speaking about Autumn, the hike during these months provides a meaningful cultural insight as the main festivals of Dashain and Tihar fall under Oct and Nov, when visitors can truly learn about how such rich festivals are celebrated in the remote areas. Besides, due to the less amount of snow/rainfall, the skies become pretty clear with unhindered views of towering mountains and lovely green hills.

Lastly, if these 2 seasons don't fit into your holiday date, then you can surely opt for winter, as many people love to do Annapurna Base Camp Trek in winter somewhere between January and mid-December. The route becomes fascinating with snow-covered trails, perfect for someone who loves to build snowmen and also seeks a peaceful hike. Hence, the ABC Trek via Poon Hill can easily be done at any time of the year with proper planning and appropriate gear.

It is impossible to manage the attached one, in the upper section. Every room is hygienic and well-maintained where comfortable mattresses, blankets, and pillows will be provided.

For the food, the meal options consist of a variety of choices from western, Indian, and Asian to locals, this region caters to all the tastes and preferences of hikers across the globe. You just have to choose it and it'll be prepared accordingly by the locals considering your selection.

What situations might occur?

We are not saying that this Annapurna Sanctuary Trek is a dangerous trip, or there is a high risk of altitude sickness as such critical situations are quite low, but it is suggested just for safety as the emergency medical services might cost thousands of dollars.

Carry a waist-small backpack that fits all the basic items such as gadgets, chargers, cash, medicines, and snacks even if you hire a porter for emergency purposes and quick access.
If possible, try to bring an extra power bank to charge up the phone and camera as some tea houses don't have electric sockets in the room. Yes! it is available in the dining area but you have to pay $4-$5 depending on the charging hour.
Before starting the hike create a proper diet chart in one note mentioning your dietary plans and also foods that you are allergic to so, the meals are prepared accordingly.
For the WiFi, laundry facility, hot shower, and bottled water, the extra costs are charged by the tea house, so carry some cash if you need some extra services like $5-$10 per day depending on your spending.
