If you’re new to trekking, honestly, Poon Hill
is about as friendly as it gets. The whole thing kicks off in Nayapul
(1,070 m), a quick 1.5-hour drive from Pokhara (which, by the way, sits at
822 m). The path itself? Mostly stone steps and forested trails that wind their
way up to Ghorepani (2,874 m) and finally Poon Hill (3,210 m). You’re looking
at 6 to 10 km a day, give or take, depending on how much you want to sweat.
Most folks wrap the whole circuit up in 4–5 days. No fancy climbing skills
needed—just sturdy shoes, some layers you can peel on and off, and, please,
don’t forget your rain jacket.
Day one usually lands you in Tikhedhunga
(1,540 m) or Ulleri (2,050 m). That stretch? It’s no joke: 8–10 km, takes about
4–6 hours, and Ulleri hits you with a staircase straight out of your
nightmares—over 3,000 stone steps. Next day, you push on to Ghorepani, about
10 km, maybe 6 hours if you’re taking it easy. The real treat is sunrise at
Poon Hill. Yeah, you’ll drag yourself out of bed for a 45-minute uphill march,
but the views? Worth every groggy step.
You’ll find places to crash and eat at every
stop. You do need a TIMS card (NPR 2,000) and the Annapurna Conservation Area
Permit (NPR 3,000), so don’t skip that. Guides run about USD 25–30 per
day—totally worth it if you want to zone out and not worry about directions.
Porters? Around USD 20–25 a day if you don’t feel like hauling your entire life
on your back. The trail’s busy and well-marked, especially in peak season.
Really, as long as you’re reasonably fit and do a little homework, you’ll have
an epic time.
So you want to drag the kids along? Good news:
Poon Hill is actually awesome for families (as long as your kids are, say, over
7-ish). The route’s short, safe, and not some wild survival challenge. You
start at Nayapul (1,070 m)—that’s about 45 km from Pokhara—and either loop back
or finish up in Ghandruk (1,940 m), depending on your vibe. The whole trek is
about 35–45 km over 4–5 days, with daily walks in the 3–6 hour range.
Manageable, even with some whining.
Families usually take it slow. Night one:
Tikhedhunga (1,540 m) or Ulleri (2,050 m). Night two: Ghorepani (2,874 m). Next
morning, you’re up early (sorry, not sorry) for the Poon Hill sunrise—think
pink skies over Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. The return trip can be through
Tadapani (2,630 m) and Ghandruk (1,940 m) or just back the way you came.
Lodges are chill and family-friendly—not
five-star, but you get private rooms, hot meals, and sometimes even WiFi. Meals
run NPR 500–800, rooms are NPR 500–1,000 a night. Guides are clutch for keeping
everyone on track and out of trouble, and you can hire a porter so you don’t
have to play human pack mule.
Best seasons? Spring (March–May) and autumn
(September–November), hands down. Trails are clear, views pop, and the forests
explode with rhododendron blooms. Plus, you get to meet locals from the Gurung
and Magar communities. Really, it’s a perfect “starter trek” if you want your
kids to see real mountains without, you know, breaking them.
Let’s get real: Poon Hill (3,210 m) is a
knockout spot for mountain views. You’re not getting Everest, but what you do
get is a full-on Himalayan panorama. The big moment is sunrise at Poon Hill—a
quick 45-minute climb from Ghorepani (2,874 m). On a clear morning, boom:
Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Annapurna I (8,091 m), Machapuchare (6,993 m), and
Hiunchuli (6,441 m), all glowing in gold.
The scenery builds as you go. From Ulleri
(2,050 m), you’ll catch glimpses of Annapurna South (7,219 m). Ghorepani opens
up the whole snow-capped gang, spread out above green hills. The actual Poon
Hill viewpoint? Big platform, perfect for those “I was here” photos.
From Tadapani (2,630 m) and Ghandruk
(1,940 m), you get fresh angles on Machapuchare and Annapurna South, with
rhododendrons everywhere in spring. The landscape flips constantly—forests,
ridges, tiny villages. Just a heads up: afternoons get cloudy, so mornings are
prime time for views. Autumn and spring bring the clearest skies. And yeah,
bring a warm jacket—sunrise up there is freezing. For such a short trek, the
views are honestly up there with the big-league hikes.
Food on the Poon Hill Trek? It’s not gourmet,
but you’ll eat well and you won’t go hungry. Every village from Nayapul to
Ghorepani has teahouses serving up simple, hearty stuff. Typical breakfast:
porridge, eggs, pancakes, toast, Tibetan bread—the basics, but hot and filling.
Most people eat early, between 6–8 am, before hitting the trail.
Lunch and dinner are pretty interchangeable.
“Dal Bhat” (rice, lentils, veggies) rules the menu—unlimited seconds, so go
wild. Costs around NPR 700–900 and will keep you fueled all day. You’ll also
see noodles, fried rice, pasta, momos (dumplings), and the occasional yak
cheese or apple pie if you’re lucky.
As you climb higher, food costs go up. In
Ghorepani and the Poon Hill area, expect to pay up to NPR 900 for a basic meal.
Water’s not free either—bottled water runs NPR 100–200 per liter. If you want
to save some cash (and the planet), bring purification tablets or a filter
bottle.
Vegetarians? No problem. Lots of options.
Vegans can manage with dal bhat, fried potatoes, and veggie soups. Gluten-free
is trickier, but rice-based meals are everywhere. Pro-tip: order early, ’cause
kitchens get slammed at peak hours.
Everything’s made fresh, but variety drops the higher you go since supplies come up from below. Still, the food’s clean, comforting, and exactly what you want after a day of climbing steps. You’ll never have to worry about going hungry on the Poon Hill trail.
The Poon Hill Trek spans approximately 40 to
55 kilometers in total, depending on the selected route. The classic circuit
begins at Nayapul (1,070 m), passing through Tikhedhunga (1,540 m), Ulleri
(2,050 m), Ghorepani (2,874 m), and ultimately Poon Hill (3,210 m). The descent
follows via Tadapani (2,630 m) and Ghandruk (1,940 m), concluding back at
Nayapul. Most trekkers complete this loop in 4 to 5 days.
The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek features a steady
elevation gain, with the steepest ascent occurring between Tikhedhunga and
Ulleri—where trekkers encounter over 3,000 stone steps. From Ghorepani, an
early morning hike to Poon Hill takes roughly 45 minutes and offers panoramic
sunrise views of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m) and Annapurna I (8,091 m).
Trekkers typically walk 8 to 12 kilometers per
day, with daily durations ranging from 4 to 6 hours. The well-marked trail
meanders through rhododendron forests, terraced farmlands, and traditional
Gurung villages. This route is suitable for beginners with basic fitness
levels; no technical skills are required. The trek is considered safe and
accessible year-round, though the clearest views and most favorable weather
conditions occur in spring (March–April) and autumn (October–November).
Starting the Poon Hill Trek from Pokhara is
convenient and efficient. Travelers typically take a taxi or jeep to Nayapul
(1,070 m)—a 2-hour drive covering 40 kilometers, with a private vehicle costing
NPR 2,000–3,000. The trek commences from Nayapul, proceeding toward Tikhedhunga
(1,540 m) or Ulleri (2,050 m), depending on individual pace. You can also drive
directly to Ulleri from Pokhara if you want.
The trail continues with a gradual ascent to
Ghorepani (2,874 m), where most trekkers spend the night before the sunrise
hike to Poon Hill (3,210 m). The popular four-day loop extends to Tadapani
(2,630 m) and Ghandruk (1,940 m), then descends back to Nayapul.
Expect to walk roughly 10 kilometers daily,
with trekking durations of 4–6 hours. The route is well-established, with
frequent teahouses providing meals and accommodation. Room rates generally
range from NPR 500–1,000, while meals cost NPR 400–700. Both the Annapurna
Conservation Area Permit (NPR 3,000) and TIMS card (NPR 2,000) are mandatory.
Beginning the trek from Pokhara allows for
quick trail access, reduced travel fatigue, and simplified logistics. Trekkers
enjoy stunning views of Annapurna South (7,219 m) and Hiunchuli (6,441 m), as
well as scenic forests and vibrant villages. This route is ideal for beginners
and families; porters and guides are readily available in Pokhara if needed.
To access the Poon Hill Trek from Kathmandu,
travelers can take a 25-minute flight (USD 100–120) or a 6–8 hour bus ride (NPR
1,500–2,500) to Pokhara (820 m), followed by a 2-hour drive to Nayapul (1,070
m). Private vehicles from Kathmandu to Nayapul require approximately 8–10 hours
and cost USD 150–180.
The trek begins at Nayapul, leading to
Tikhedhunga (1,540 m) or Ulleri (2,050 m), then ascending through terraced
hills to Ghorepani (2,874 m). A sunrise hike to Poon Hill (3,210 m) offers
breathtaking views of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges. The descent
continues via Tadapani (2,630 m) and Ghandruk (1,940 m), ending at Nayapul.
These
days, trekkers can begin their Poon Hill Trek from Ulleri directly. The Jeep
ride from Pokhara to Ulleri takes you to Ghorepani on the same day. It takes around
7 hours to get Ghorepani from Pohara via Ulleri.
This 4 to 5-day trek covers 40 to 55
kilometers in total, with daily trekking times of 4–6 hours. The route includes
steep stone steps and forested paths. Teahouses provide affordable lodging (NPR
500–1,000) and meals (NPR 400–700). Both the ACAP permit (NPR 3,000) and TIMS
card (NPR 2,000) are required.
Traveling from Kathmandu adds one or two days
for transportation, but the Poon Hill Trek remains accessible and manageable.
It is an excellent option for those seeking a short, scenic trek with
impressive Himalayan vistas and an introduction to Gurung and Magar culture.
While luxury accommodations along the Poon
Hill Trek are limited, options have been expanding. Most teahouses are basic,
but several upgraded lodges in Ghorepani (2,874 m) and Ghandruk (1,940 m) now
offer enhanced comfort, including private rooms with attached bathrooms, hot
showers, electric blankets, and curated meals.
Ghorepani Hotel Snow Land and Hotel Sunny and Ghandruk’s Gurung Cottage
are among the most reputable upscale lodges, with rates ranging from USD 40–100
per night, including meals. Select lodges in Ulleri and Tadapani also provide
mid-range comfort with improved bedding and higher food quality.
Advance reservations are recommended,
especially during the busy spring and autumn seasons. Luxury lodges typically
offer filtered water, reliable Wi-Fi, and comfortable dining areas. While such
amenities are less common here than on the Everest or Annapurna Base Camp
treks, the available options still elevate the trekking experience. You can
even experience massage in Ghorepani. But for this, you have to inform earlier.
Porters and guides from Pokhara can assist
with securing the best accommodations on Poon hill Trek. Even on this
relatively short and accessible trek, a touch of luxury can significantly
enhance the experience—particularly in colder months. Please note, however,
that electricity and internet may remain unstable above 2,500 meters,
regardless of lodge category.
Chitwan
National Park, Nepal’s very first national park (yep, the OG since 1973),
sprawls across a wild 932 square kilometers in the lush, sticky lowlands of the
Terai. Altitude here bounces from a chill 100 meters to a breezy 815 meters
above sea level—plenty of room for a mind-blowing cast of critters to call
home. UNESCO took one look and said “Yep, that’s a World Heritage Site” back in
1984. Makes sense, right? This place is a sanctuary for all sorts of species,
big and small, including the legendary one-horned rhino and the stealthy Bengal
tiger. Talk about celebrity residents.
Now, getting there? Not rocket science. You’re
about 170 kilometers southwest of Kathmandu. So, if you’re cool with a 5-6 hour
road trip, just hop in and go. Or, if you’re feeling fancy (and impatient),
there’s a quick 25-minute flight to Bharatpur, then a short drive and
boom—you’re at the gates. Coming from Pokhara? That’s about 150 kilometers,
which translates to five hours on the road. Honestly, it’s pretty doable, which
explains why both local and international tourists flock here for a taste of
the wild (and maybe a selfie with a rhino, if you’re lucky).
Inside the park, you’ve got options. Jeep
safaris for the thrill-seekers, canoe rides for the chill crowd, and guided
jungle walks if you’re brave (or just want to pretend you’re David Attenborough
for a day). The buffer zones and community forests do some heavy lifting
too—not just keeping the animals safe but making sure tourism stays
eco-friendly and sustainable.
Long story short? Chitwan National Park isn’t just a patch of jungle—it’s a whole vibe. It blends raw nature, epic wildlife, and a dash of local culture into an experience you won’t forget anytime soon.
Next, we will board to Birethanti by a Private vehicle ride and then trek to Ulleri . Before you get to Ulleri, you will pass through Hemja, Phedi, Gahttekulo, Kande, Naudanda, Nayapool and Birethanti. Birethanti is the place where the Annapurna Conservation Area Office is located. After you ascend to Banthanti, you will take a rest and stay overnight there and take another day trip to Ghorepani (2865m). Ghodepani/Ghorepani is a popular viewpoint in the Annapurna region just below Poonhill and on the way to Tatopani. The village, Ghorepani offers you astonishing views of Mt. Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, Gandapurna, Himchuli, and Manaslu. The village has numerous normal and luxurious lodges and hotels.
The next day, early in the morning, you will ascend to the top of Poonhill and celebrate enthralling views of entire mountain panorama in Annapurna region including giant Dhaulagiri, the highest one in Annapurna region, Mt. Annapurna-I and entire Annapurna massif, Machhapuchhre, Gandgpurna, Himchuli, Ganesh Himal and Manaslu with stunning sunrise. The contrast between the mountain panorama and the astonishing sunrays will marvel you tremendously.
After you marvel at incredible mountain panoramas and the stunning sunrise from Poonhill, you will board your trip to Pokhara and to Chitwan. As you go to Chitwan, you will enjoy the Chitwan National Park Activities like canoeing, bird and crocodile watching, jeep safari, elephant breeding center and rhinoceroses’ movements. In the evening, you will enjoy Tharu Cultural Shows along with typical local dishes.
After that, the trip Poonhill Luxury Trek with Chitwan ends with a luxury coach drive from Chitwan to Kathmandu and you will celebrate the grand ending with an authentic farewell cultural dinner.

The Poonhill Trekking Trail is entirely based in Annapurna Conservation Area beginning from Ulleri or Banthanti (2200m) or some people like to begin it from Birethanti as well as they love classical Poonhill Trek, taking you to Ghorepani and finally Poonhill and takes you back to the same destination, Birethanti/Nayapool to end the hiking officially. The Poonhill Trekking Trail is not technical; it is easy all round the trip. It seems an easy hike covering at least 10-12 kilometers distance each day with working hours 6 in average. The Poonhill Trekking Trail is safe; no threats of avalanches and landslides and even no threats of wild animals of Annapurna Conservation Area.

The guide and porter you hire for Poonhill Trek will be our own trekking crew and Haven Holidays Team. They are very professional, helpful and caring all the time. You can ask help in need whenever you require and they will be very delighted to help you. They are fully authorized with valid license to lead the trekkers/travelers in the mountain and in the city.
The team of guide and porter we provide you are well-known to local culture, accommodation, foods, elevation trekking distance per day, different breaks (water, toilets, tea/coffee and light snacks, lunch etc) during the day-walk, first-aid applications, acute mountain sickness, rescue if necessary and arrangement of transportation during the trek. The team who you are with is eco-friendly and great communicators. You can enjoy merrymaking and share your things if you like.
If you are confident that you can carry your stuffs during your Poonhill Trek, you don’t need to hire porter. However, it is suggested to hire porter for your Poonhill Trek to ease and make it more convenient in carrying your luggage.
There is no any kind of threats of high altitude sickness in Poonhill Trek as it takes you 3200m as the highest point of the trek which is the top of Poonhill. In case you are critically suffered of any causes while ascending to Ghorepani and Poonhill or anywhere on the Poonhill Trek trail, you will immediately be rescued by the helicopter or jeep and admitted at the hospital of Pokhara City or Kathmandu Valley and begin the further treatment. For this, you must allow your trekking partner/ trekking company and your guide to call the helicopter/jeep by presenting authentic travel insurance that covers all rescue and treatment expenses.
It is very important to consider whether to go with bus ride to Pokhara from Kathmandu and back or by air. If you have an important schedule and important thing to do right after and before your Ghorepani-Poonhill Trek, it is recommended to go with domestic flight to and from Pokhara. Another big issue will be the issue of heavy traffic on Prithvi Highway and the 6 hours drive from and to Pokhara may prolong like 10-12 hours sometimes. Again, if you have travel sickness, please try your best to escape this 6-8 hours drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara and back.
Another important thing to consider is: Poonhill Trek is an easy hike in Nepal in Annapurna region near Pokhara city. There is no age bar for Poonhill Trek. Even the beginners and fresher can do Poonhill Trek successfully without any interruptions and obstacles.
Ask for helicopter/jeep rescue if you think that you are in critical condition. If you have the symptoms of acute mountain sickness and if it gets sever, try to walk down to lower elevations and apply first aid procedures.
Personally, what like most about Poonhill Trek is ascending and stepping at the top of Poonhill and capturing giant Annapurna Massif, alluring Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Gangapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal and massive Dhaulagiri with stunning sunrise early in the morning. Along with this, one can enjoy the walk through Annapurna Conservation Area with diverse species of flora and fauna. Moreover, trekkers will find Pokhara city as paradise for relaxation and refreshment. If the trekkers want, they can enjoy massage and spa at Ghorepani village and do relaxing meditation and yoga at the top of Poonhill. Performing yoga and meditation directly facing towards snow-covered mountain peaks will be breathtaking experience in Poonhill Trek.
Tipping for your guide and porter is not mandatory in Poonhill Trek but they expect something extra from you after they work hard for you. Isn’t it? You’d better prepare USD 5-10 per day per individual guide and porter. But, it doesn’t mean that you have to do the same as we recommend you. You reward them with some handsome tipping as well if you are fully satisfied. Sometimes, you don’t need to reward them with tipping if they don’t take a good care of you and try to spoil your trip with some unnecessary personal benefits and interests. Nevertheless, tipping ( little or more) seems to be mandatory in present world while doing a vacation trip.
You will enjoy, mostly, freshly cooked local cuisines during Poonhill Trek. The local teahouse and lodges will offer you very authentic local cuisines like tsampa, porridge, Tibetan bread, yak meat items, locally grown vegetables and fruits, etc. They also offer some continental, Indian, Chinese, Japanese and popular dishes during the trek as mentioned on their food menu.

You can carry the instant noodles and can prepare in your room during your Poonhill Trek. The meals you have on your Poonhill Trek will be freshly cooked and very hygienic in order to ensure your balanced diet and hygiene. Pick up the item from food menu prepared by local lodges and teahouses and ask them to prepare it for you.

I can't recommend Haven Holidays enough! The Poon Hill Luxury Trek combined stunning Himalayan views with top-tier service. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged — from our experienced guide to the comfortable lodges (yes, with hot showers and cozy blankets!). After days of trekking, ending the journey with a wildlife adventure in Chitwan was the cherry on top. We spotted rhinos, went on a canoe ride, and even visited a Tharu village. The 12-day plan had the perfect balance of adventure, nature, and relaxation. Worth every penny!
Haven Holidays nailed it. This was my first time trekking in Nepal, and I’m glad I went with their luxury version.

From the very beginning, Haven Holidays set the gold standard for what a luxury trekking experience should be.

Each day brought us through charming Gurung villages, rhododendron forests, and dramatic mountain landscapes, culminating in the magical sunrise view from Poon Hill, where the snow-capped peaks of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri lit up in gold. What made it truly luxurious was the quality of the accommodations—cozy boutique lodges with warm hospitality, hot showers, and hearty meals that kept us energized and pampered along the trail. Our guide from Haven Holidays was phenomenal—deeply knowledgeable about local culture, flora, and fauna, and always attentive to our comfort and pace. The logistics were seamless, from airport pickups to trail support, allowing us to focus entirely on enjoying the journey. The second part of the trip in Chitwan National Park added an exciting contrast to the trek. Staying in a high-end jungle resort, we went on safaris, canoe rides, and nature walks with expert naturalists, spotting rhinos, crocodiles, and exotic birdlife. It felt like stepping into a National Geographic documentary—with cocktails by the riverside at sunset! Haven Holidays masterfully combines personalized service, attention to detail, and authentic Nepali warmth. This wasn't just a holiday—it was a life experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a Himalayan adventure without compromising on comfort.
A down jacket is a versatile and warm piece of clothing that is commonly used in trekking and is most effective when used as a mid-layer or outer layer in cold weather. Consider the layering system and pack other appropriate layers such as base layers, fleece jackets, or a waterproof shell to adjust to changing conditions. Remember to choose a down jacket that fits you well and allows for easy movement. Prioritize your comfort, warmth, and safety when selecting a down jacket for your trekking adventure.

A properly fitting backpack is very important for comfort and avoiding discomfort or strain during your trek. Look for backpacks with adjustable shoulder straps, a padded hip belt, and a sternum strap. Consider trying on different backpacks to find the one that fits your body shape and provides proper weight distribution. A good trekking backpack should have a supportive suspension system that effectively transfers the weight to your hips.
Invest in qualitative and reliable clothing and footwear as your whole trekking depends upon them.
Make sure your gear is in good condition and that you have everything you need for all types of weather conditions.
With proper planning and preparation, you can have a safe and enjoyable trip.
Sleeping Bag (appropriate for the expected temperature): Selecting the right sleeping bag for your trekking adventure for a comfortable and warm night's sleep.

Ensure the sleeping bag is long enough to accommodate your height comfortably.
Water purification is most important during outdoor activities, especially when you may not have access to clean and safe drinking water sources. There are several methods you can use to purify water in such situations:
Carrying chocolate bars as a snack during trekking trips can be great.
Chocolate bars can provide a quick source of energy due to their high sugar and calorie content.

Learn what gadgets to carry for the Poon Hill Luxury Trek with Chitwan to stay connected, safe, and comfortable.
Actually, carrying the right gadgets makes your trek more comfortable and enjoyable. Basic essentials include a smartphone, camera, headlamp, and power bank. Moreover, a universal adapter is useful since lodges may have different plug types. For photography lovers, lightweight DSLR or GoPro cameras are also recommended to capture the Himalayan views from Poon Hill (3,210 m).
Furthermore, Haven Holidays suggests bringing solar chargers as backup since electricity in villages like Ghorepani (2,874 m) can be limited. Noise-canceling earphones or e-readers are also nice for relaxing in the evenings. So, gadgets should be lightweight yet practical.
In conclusion, the right gadgets add both safety and comfort to your trek. Therefore, Haven Holidays helps you choose essential electronics for a smooth adventure.
Wondering if it’s safe to bring expensive electronics on the Poon Hill Luxury Trek with Chitwan? Here’s the answer.
First of all, Nepal is generally safe for travelers, and trekking villages are used to seeing tourists with cameras, laptops, or drones. However, it is wise to keep expensive items like MacBooks or professional cameras inside your backpack when not in use. Moreover, most luxury lodges arranged by Haven Holidays provide safe storage or private rooms, making it safer than teahouses.
Furthermore, carrying only what you truly need is recommended. For instance, a good camera is useful, but heavy laptops may not be necessary. So, travelers can enjoy trekking without worrying about losing or damaging their electronics.
In conclusion, it is safe to bring expensive gadgets if handled carefully. Therefore, Haven Holidays ensures safety arrangements so that your devices remain secure.
Check if you can charge gadgets in trekking lodges during the Poon Hill Luxury Trek with Chitwan.
Actually, yes, charging facilities are available in most lodges along the trek. In Ghorepani (2,874 m) and Tadapani (2,630 m), power is supplied through hydro or solar energy. Moreover, in luxury lodges used by Haven Holidays, charging is usually included in the package, unlike basic teahouses that charge per device.
Furthermore, trekkers are advised to carry a power bank or solar charger as a backup. On longer days of trekking, it helps keep phones and cameras fully charged for capturing stunning sunrise views from Poon Hill. So, charging is possible but requires planning.
In conclusion, charging facilities are available but limited in power. Therefore, Haven Holidays ensures lodge stays where charging is convenient and reliable.
Find out why carrying a power bank is useful for the Poon Hill Luxury Trek with Chitwan.
To begin with, carrying a power bank is highly recommended for the trek. Electricity supply in mountain villages can sometimes be weak or cut off, especially during cloudy days when solar panels produce less power. Moreover, a power bank ensures that your phone, camera, or GPS device stays charged even on long trekking days.
Additionally, Haven Holidays suggests a 10,000–20,000 mAh power bank, which can charge multiple devices. So, even if lodge charging points are full, you will still have backup power.
In conclusion, a power bank is one of the most useful gadgets for trekking. Therefore, it guarantees peace of mind and keeps your electronics reliable throughout the journey.
Learn if you can use drones during the Poon Hill Luxury Trek with Chitwan and what rules apply.
Actually, drones are allowed in some trekking regions, but they require special permits in Nepal. In villages like Ghorepani (2,874 m) and Ghandruk (1,940 m), drones can be flown with permission from local authorities. Moreover, some areas near conservation zones may have restrictions.
Furthermore, Haven Holidays assists trekkers in arranging drone permits if needed. Using drones responsibly ensures you capture Himalayan beauty without disturbing locals or wildlife. So, drone use is possible but requires proper planning.
In conclusion, drones can be used with permits and responsibility. Therefore, Haven Holidays helps handle paperwork so you can enjoy aerial photography safely.
Find out what type of plug adapter you need for the Poon Hill Luxury Trek with Chitwan.
First of all, Nepal mainly uses Type C, D, and M power plugs, with a standard voltage of 230V. Travelers from Europe often find compatibility, but those from the US, UK, or Australia usually require an adapter. Moreover, some lodges may have limited plug options.
Furthermore, Haven Holidays recommends carrying a universal travel adapter. This saves hassle and ensures all your gadgets can be charged in both city hotels and mountain lodges. So, with the right adapter, charging becomes simple.
In conclusion, a universal adapter is the safest option. Therefore, it ensures your gadgets remain powered throughout the trek and safari trip.
Decide whether to bring a camera or just use your phone during the Poon Hill Luxury Trek with Chitwan.
Actually, both options are good depending on your interest in photography. Modern smartphones capture great quality pictures and are lightweight to carry. Moreover, they are perfect for sharing photos instantly when Wi-Fi is available.
On the other hand, a DSLR or mirrorless camera captures higher-quality images of sunrise views at Poon Hill (3,210 m). Furthermore, Haven Holidays often sees trekkers bring lightweight cameras like GoPros, which are easy to handle during hikes. So, the choice depends on your personal preference.
In conclusion, a phone is enough for casual photos, but serious photographers may prefer a camera. Therefore, carrying one or both is entirely up to your travel style.
Wondering if laptops are necessary for the Poon Hill Luxury Trek with Chitwan? Here’s the best advice.
To start with, laptops are not essential for this trek unless you have work commitments. Most trekkers find smartphones or tablets enough for communication, photography, and entertainment. Moreover, carrying laptops adds unnecessary weight to your backpack.
Furthermore, Haven Holidays recommends avoiding bulky electronics. Instead, a lightweight tablet or Kindle works well for reading or watching movies in the evenings. So, laptops are generally not recommended unless absolutely necessary.
In conclusion, laptops are optional but not practical for trekking. Therefore, lighter gadgets are better for comfort and convenience.
Find out if you can listen to music or audiobooks during the Poon Hill Luxury Trek with Chitwan.
Actually, listening to music or audiobooks is a great way to relax during long trekking hours. Noise-canceling earphones or Bluetooth headphones work well and are lightweight to carry. Moreover, downloading playlists offline is wise since internet is limited in mountain villages.
Additionally, Haven Holidays suggests carrying a small power bank to keep earphones charged. This way, entertainment is always available, even on longer walking days. So, yes, listening to music or audiobooks is very possible.
In conclusion, bringing headphones adds joy to the journey. Therefore, it enhances the trekking experience while keeping you entertained.

Actually, trekkers need two main permits for this trek. The first is the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP), which protects the environment and wildlife. The second is the Trekkers’ Information Management System (TIMS) card, which ensures safety tracking. Moreover, these permits are checked at entry points like Nayapul (1,070 m) and Ghorepani (2,874 m). Haven Holidays arranges both permits in advance for clients, saving them time and hassle. So, with these two permits, you can trek legally and safely.
Permits are available in Kathmandu (1,400 m) at the Nepal Tourism Board office or in Pokhara (822 m). Actually, trekkers must show their passport details, photos, and pay the official fee. However, this process can take time if the office is crowded. Moreover, checkpoints along the trail strictly check these permits. Haven Holidays makes the process easier by collecting documents and arranging permits before your trek begins. So, you do not need to worry about standing in long queues.
As of now, the ACAP permit costs NPR 3,000 per person. Actually, these fees are standard for foreign trekkers, while SAARC nationals pay less. Moreover, the fees directly support conservation projects and local communities. Trekkers must pay in Nepali currency at the official office. Haven Holidays includes the permit cost in their package price, which avoids confusion.
Yes, even children need permits for entering the Annapurna Conservation Area. Actually, rules apply to everyone regardless of age, to ensure proper record-keeping and safety. Moreover, children’s names and passport details must be included while applying. However, fees may sometimes be discounted for very young children. Haven Holidays always manages family trekking permits to ensure smooth entry. So, children are also officially registered for trekking in the Annapurna region.
No, trekking permits for this route are not available online. Actually, you must apply in person at the Nepal Tourism Board office in Kathmandu or Pokhara. Moreover, you need to show passport copies, photos, and payment in local currency. This rule ensures proper verification of trekkers. Haven Holidays saves clients from paperwork by completing the application on their behalf. So, although permits cannot be purchased online, the process is still easy with agency support.
Trekking without permits is illegal in Nepal and can cause serious problems. Actually, checkpoints along the route, like in Ghorepani (2,874 m), will stop you without permits. Moreover, you may face fines, delays, or even be forced to return. Authorities monitor these rules to protect both trekkers and the environment. Haven Holidays ensures all clients have valid permits before starting. So, trekking without permits is never recommended and creates unnecessary risks.
Yes, a separate entry permit is required for Chitwan National Park (415 m). Actually, this is different from ACAP and TIMS, and it is purchased at the park entry gate. The fee supports conservation of endangered animals like rhinos and tigers. Moreover, the entry is valid for specific days inside the park. Haven Holidays includes this permit in the luxury package, so guests do not need to handle it themselves. So, both trekking and jungle safari require proper permits.
Yes, Nepali citizens and SAARC nationals also need permits, but their fees are lower. Actually, Nepali trekkers can enter ACAP with just a small entry fee. SAARC nationals also pay discounted rates compared to foreign trekkers. Moreover, rules about registration and documentation apply equally to everyone. Haven Holidays handles these variations depending on client nationality. So, permits are necessary for all, but prices vary according to citizenship.
Permits are valid only for the trek you apply for. Actually, ACAP and TIMS permits are valid until you exit the conservation area. They cannot be reused for another trek or future visits. Moreover, the Chitwan entry permit is valid only during your stay in the park. Haven Holidays ensures permits cover the exact itinerary for your 12-day trip. So, validity is limited but enough for the full trek and safari.
Actually, you need your original passport, two passport-size photos, and cash in Nepali rupees for payment. Moreover, you must provide travel details like entry points and itinerary. These documents ensure correct registration in case of emergency rescue or safety issues. Without them, the permit office cannot process applications. Haven Holidays collects and prepares these documents in advance for clients. So, carrying passport and photos is necessary for trekking permits.

Similarly, carrying only what is essential allows porters to help efficiently. Because of this planning, you focus on scenery rather than luggage. In conclusion, essential gear supports safety, comfort, and a smooth trekking experience.
Weather changes quickly from Pokhara to Poon Hill. Because mornings are cool and afternoons warm, layering is essential. Moreover, Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd recommends a thermal base layer, fleece, windproof jacket, and waterproof outer layer. Likewise, hats and gloves protect against wind and cold. Therefore, layered packing keeps you comfortable in all conditions. Similarly, light and breathable clothing works for Chitwan’s jungle section. Because of this preparation, you adapt easily to both mountains and lowlands. In conclusion, smart layering ensures comfort throughout the 12-day luxury trek.
Trekking shoes must be sturdy, waterproof, and comfortable. Because trails include rocky paths and stairs, grip is crucial. Moreover, Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd advises high-ankle boots for ankle support and lightweight shoes for lower trails. Likewise, breaking in shoes before the trek prevents blisters. Therefore, proper footwear protects feet and supports energy for long hikes. Similarly, bringing extra socks helps maintain dryness and warmth. Because of this choice, trekkers move safely and comfortably. In conclusion, quality trekking shoes are essential for a smooth luxury trek.
A daypack is necessary for daily essentials. Because main luggage is carried by porters, you only need a small pack. Moreover, Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd suggests carrying water, snacks, camera, sunscreen, rain cover, and extra layers. Likewise, trekking poles can attach to your pack for convenience. Therefore, you can hike lightly and comfortably. Similarly, keeping valuables in the daypack ensures security. Because of this strategy, long walking days are easier. In conclusion, a properly packed daypack maximizes comfort and convenience.
Sleeping bags are optional but recommended in colder months. Because some lodges provide blankets, a sleeping bag adds warmth and hygiene. Moreover, Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd suggests a lightweight, compact bag rated for 0–5°C. Likewise, it protects against cold nights at higher elevations. Therefore, bringing one ensures better rest and comfort. Similarly, it can be used in Chitwan lodges if extra warmth is needed. Because of this, trekkers sleep comfortably every night. In conclusion, a sleeping bag enhances comfort, safety, and hygiene during the trek.
Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd can arrange some gear for convenience. Because first-time trekkers may not have boots, poles, or sleeping bags, rental options are available. Moreover, guides advise on fit, safety, and suitability for conditions. Likewise, trekking poles and daypacks are sometimes supplied if requested. Therefore, travelers can avoid buying unnecessary items. Similarly, gear rental reduces packing weight and logistical stress. Because of this service, you focus on trekking rather than equipment. In conclusion, luxury packages include gear guidance and rental options for convenience.
Electronics need protection from weather and altitude. Because rain and dust are common, waterproof bags or cases are essential. Moreover, Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd recommends extra batteries and memory cards since charging may be limited. Likewise, cameras or phones should stay in padded compartments of daypacks. Therefore, you capture memories safely without risk of damage. Similarly, power banks ensure devices stay functional on long trekking days. Because of these precautions, technology enhances your experience without worry. In conclusion, careful packing of electronics keeps memories secure and devices ready.
Chitwan requires light, breathable, and protective clothing. Because the jungle is warm and humid, loose clothes, hats, and insect repellent are necessary. Moreover, Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd advises long sleeves and trousers to prevent bites. Likewise, comfortable walking shoes are better than trekking boots for plains. Therefore, clothing adapts to climate and activity. Similarly, layering is less important but sun protection remains key. Because of this, your Chitwan safari is comfortable and safe. In conclusion, proper clothing balances comfort, protection, and mobility for jungle experiences.
Luxury lodges offer amenities but packing wisely is still needed. Because some lodges have laundry and hot showers, you can reduce clothing quantity. Moreover, Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd suggests casual wear for evenings and trekking attire for daytime. Likewise, packing travel documents, toiletries, and small valuables in an accessible section of luggage helps. Therefore, packing combines trekking needs with lodge comfort. Similarly, light luggage ensures porters can carry your main bag safely. Because of this, travel feels effortless. In conclusion, balanced packing maximizes comfort and convenience throughout the trek.

Therefore, luggage is managed efficiently while you enjoy comfort. Similarly, guides coordinate porter services daily for smooth transitions. Because of this system, trekking is stress-free and enjoyable. In conclusion, using porters ensures ease, safety, and a luxury experience on the 12-day trek.
Travel insurance is strongly recommended for all trekkers. Because unforeseen events like injury, illness, or evacuation can occur, insurance ensures financial protection. Moreover, Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd requires clients to have valid trekking insurance before departure for peace of mind. Likewise, policies should cover high-altitude trekking, medical expenses, and emergency evacuation. Therefore, insurance reduces stress and allows you to focus on trekking. Similarly, first-aid kits and guides complement insurance for safety. Because of this requirement, travelers can enjoy the 12-day luxury trek confidently. In conclusion, comprehensive insurance is essential for health, safety, and a worry-free experience.
Standard travel insurance may not cover trekking above 3,000 m. Because Poon Hill reaches 3,210 m, choose policies that explicitly include high-altitude trekking. Moreover, Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd provides guidance on selecting suitable insurance. Likewise, policies should cover medical emergencies, evacuation, and trip cancellations. Therefore, you are fully protected for any eventuality. Similarly, carrying proof of insurance helps guides and local authorities if needed. Because of this, your trek is secure even in remote areas. In conclusion, high-altitude coverage ensures safety for both mountains and jungle sections of the trek.
Yes, medical coverage is a key feature. Because trekking involves physical exertion and high-altitude exposure, accidents or illness can occur. Moreover, Haven Holidays Pvt.

Therefore, medical expenses are covered without unexpected costs. Similarly, guides advise preventive measures and check health daily. Because of this, travelers feel secure and can enjoy the trek fully. In conclusion, medical coverage safeguards health and provides confidence throughout the 12-day journey.
Choosing the right provider is essential. Because not all companies cover high-altitude trekking or helicopter evacuation, careful selection matters. Moreover, Haven Holidays Pvt.

Therefore, you avoid surprises and enjoy full protection. Similarly, our team assists with verification and advice before departure. Because of this guidance, insurance is effective and comprehensive. In conclusion, selecting the right provider guarantees safety, peace of mind, and a smooth trekking experience.

Ltd advises confirming that your policy includes refunds for cancellations, missed flights, or natural hazards. Likewise, delays during monsoon or winter can be covered. Therefore, insurance protects your investment and reduces stress. Similarly, guides provide updates on weather or transport to coordinate claims if needed. Because of this, your luxury trek remains secure and worry-free. In conclusion, cancellation coverage safeguards finances and planning for a smooth experience.
Costs vary based on coverage, duration, and age. Because high-altitude trekking, medical, and evacuation coverage increase premiums, expect slightly higher rates. Moreover, Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd guides you on selecting affordable yet comprehensive policies. Likewise, policies for 12-day luxury treks usually range between $50–$150 per person. Therefore, proper coverage is affordable and necessary for peace of mind. Similarly, investing in insurance prevents unexpected high expenses.
