2 Days Short Poon Hill Trek | New Itinerary | Cost - 2024

The Trekking choice is completely yours, based upon what type of trekking, what you want to achieve and what kind of experience you want to get from the trip. Do you want to reach the base of the gigantic Himalayan range? Do you want to trek to the vintage viewpoint of the Mt. Everest and other mountain peaks? Do you want to pass through the highest passes of the Everest Region? Do you want to pass through the traditional villages with unique cultures? Or do you want to just vanish in the serenity of the nature of the Himalayas to be free from your hectic life schedule? The other consideration is the length of the trek and the season you like to trek. For example, the higher passes often close due to heavy snowfall from December to February but the lower elevation treks like the Annapurna Poon Hill, Everest View Trek, etc. are open 12-months round. A brief introduction to the different types of treks is listed for your convenience to choose the trek. We are ever ready to make and arrange the best itinerary for your trips, a memorable and fascinating one. Solo travelers or traveling with friends are heartily welcome to give us the opportunity to serve you the fullest for making your dream come true. Contact us for more information on setting your own trekking itinerary.

Any customization or flexibility in all the itineraries of Trekking Trail Nepal is heartily welcomed. You can trek for as many or as little days as you like. Even during the trek, you can easily change the itinerary and request your guide or trek leader to explore the previously unintended areas, extend the trek or shorten it– it’s totally your decision. We have been contacted by the trekkers that the stated itineraries seem very strict and a tedious one but they soon realize the flexibility once they get into the trek.

For your convenience, our trekking trips are graded as ‘Easy’, ‘Moderate’ or ‘Strenuous’. The grading is done on the basis of the duration of the trip, altitude, and number of hours to trek per day.

EASY – Trekking holidays are scheduled to be free from the hassle of the busy life. For easy trekking trips, you do not need to have the high level of physical endurance but the most important attributes for easy trekking trips are an open and peaceful mind, a sense of humor, adaptability and the optimism in life. These factors affect the fluency of the trek.

MODERATE - A reasonable fitness level and good health, please expect to walk for up to 4 hours at a time on steep paths, often with sections of large uphill and downhill. You should be exercising a few times a week for this trip to get maximum enjoyment out of the trip. The altitude can go up high to 4500 m with the side trips to higher altitude too. 

STRENUOUS – Trekking for at least 6 hours every day often over the Rocky Mountains and plain terrain at high altitude is really a tedious job. You will have to be physically fit and healthy with regular exercise habits in the week to increase the endurance levels. Any training done on hills, for instance, walking, cycling, running, hiking, etc. is usually beneficial.

Most of the trekkers usually come unprepared for the trek. The trekking gear, clothes, and equipment are easily available and affordable over specialist stores in the Thamel, Kathmandu. One team member will show you around to purchase the items at a discount. The shops here are well stocked and every kind of items like the bag, jacket, pants, sweaters, t-shirts, gloves, hats, socks, sleeping bag, and trekking poles are available for reasonable prices. Renting the gears and equipment is much better than to buy.

No matter which trekking trail you choose, Short Trek, Long trek, High Altitude Treks, or Yoga Trek, you must equipped with good trekking gears. Also, it is highly recommended to practice walking in those shoes for up to 2 weeks before starting the trek for adaptation to the feet. For more knowledge and information please read our Recommended Gear Checklist.

Nepal has four different seasons.

Spring (March – May): It’s mainly the blossoming time of flowers so, during the trekking, we can view the amazing mountains covered with the aesthetically beautiful Rhododendrons flowers. The temperature is mildly warm in lowlands while moderate as we hike up the altitude.

Summer (June – August): Also known as the “Monsoon” season in Nepal. Hence, usually, it is raining every day with thunderstorms occasionally. It is hot, sometimes wet. The lush green vegetation is very pleasant.

Autumn (September – November): The best Tourist season of Nepal with the farewell to the summer and the welcome to the winter. The heart-touching views of the mountains provoke the trekkers for trekking during this season. As this is the main season for trekking, it is suggested to book your flights in advance. During this season, you will be enjoying lots of festivals in Nepal as the biggest festival of Nepalese – Dashain and Tihar is celebrated.

Winter (between Decembers – February): The cool weather with clear sky charms the trekkers for trekking at lower elevations. There are occasional snowfalls at a higher elevation. It is usually cold in the morning and at the night but the days are warmer if it’s a sunny day. Temperature and Rainfall: Nepal is the country of extremes. The temperatures vary according to the altitude. It is usually high temperature in the lowland plains of the Terai region while in The Himalayas, it can get low even to sub – zero temperatures. During the daytime, it is warm even in the mountains. The temperature of Kathmandu ranges from 1 Degree Celsius (34 Degree Fahrenheit) in winter to an average of 25 Degree Celsius (77 Degree Fahrenheit) in summer.

First Tea House; Teahouse is a traditional type of Nepalese house. Originally they are used for the joint family in the rural hills and Himalayas side of Nepal. With the increasing numbers of tourists in the Trekking Trail, local people transfer their own typical house into local traditional lodges to offers guest of Trekking Trail lunch, dinner, and Breakfast with basic lodging facility on the side of trekking trail although they have the common restroom at the end of the tea house. Tea house trekking is a place along the way where the accommodation and food are provided. These are of traditional style with comfortable rooms and hygienic food, local as well as western. Some camping areas can be sourced along the trail, but they can often work out more than or just as expensive as the teahouses since you would have to purchase/rent – as well as hire more staff to carry – the equipment, food, and related materials.

Every person nowadays has been aware of the pollution increment in the Himalayan region due to the ill-managed human wastages more of non-biodegradable like plastic bottles, wrappers, etc. Due to the detrimental effects to the environment, the natural resources are being depleted rapidly. The individual lodges require a minimum of 100 kg of fuel wood per day to provide luxuries such as warm showers. This leads to deforestation resulting to the landslides, soil erosion, and other negative effects. The packages customized as per the luxuries of the trekkers have been adversely affecting the environment of the Himalayas. To reduce the effect and impact on the environment, we must focus on the quality of the treks and operate with small groups consisting of maximum 10 people per group. Land transportation is encouraged instead of flights for all kinds of trips.

It costs US$ 125 per adult one way. But some cheap airlines flight ticket can get up to US $ 115. If the passengers is child below 12 Years old the Ticket cost US$ 91 per flight.
