Do You Pick Up From The Kathmandu Airport
Upon arrival in Nepal at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International airport, our airport representative will receive you and then transfer you to your respective hotel. Afternoon or evening time, we will review and discuss much information regarding your trip itinerary and included/excluded services as per the trip itinerary chosen, at the same time introducing your guide who will help you with the final preparation for your trek.
What Is Like Kathmandu and Pokhara Hotel
We provide tourist-standard hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara with accommodation based on a twin-sharing basis with breakfast. If you are trekking on a group joining basis, you will share a room with someone of the same gender from your group. If you prefer a single room supplement in Kathmandu and on-route trekking, you can request the single supplement (which will be an extra cost besides the trip price stated). We provide deluxe star category hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara. For more details and information, please feel free to contact us.
What Kind of Accommodation Is Available During the Annapurna Panorama Trek
We provide accommodation in tea houses (mountain lodges). A Tea House is a combination of a guest house, restaurant, and social hangout. The rooms have twin beds and little additional furniture, like small tables or chairs. Blankets are generally provided (we recommend that you carry your sleeping bags). Most bathrooms are commonly with squatting (Asian) toilets or of western comfort with sitting toilets. Most Tea Houses/lodges have running water facilities. Most of the lodges have hot water for showers, but with an extra charge for using hot showers.
FOOD IN TREK
During the trekking session, full board meals are included (breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as tea or coffee provided). We provide food from these local lodges/tea houses as per the choices on the menu. Breakfast and dinner are provided at the same tea house/lodge, while lunch would be on the trail. Every Tea House serves the traditional Nepali meal, Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as rice, seasonal vegetables, noodles, potatoes, and soups. Some lodge serves western foods such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Soft drinks, snacks, and beer are available in most Tea Houses restaurants. A variety of cereals, bread, and egg dishes are generally available for breakfast.
HEALTH AND FITNESS
Health and physical fitness are the most important part of travel, and participating in trekking and hiking. If you do not have previous trekking experience as required, you can start with a morning walking exercise or cycling for weeks or months before/after booking the trip with us, if you have previous trekking and climbing experience it will add a plus point to the trek chosen, most of the trek is non-technical effort walks.
The highest height gain on this trip is at 3,210m above sea level. The walk involves lots of ups and downs, walking through local villages, farmlands, terraces, and riverside, as long as you have energy, walking for 4- 6 hours a day, and if you are qualified for the trek, but still require moderate health and fitness. We strongly advise travelers to consult their medical doctor before traveling and do a regular check-up, and hand the report to us while booking a trip with us.
