Annapurna Panorama Trek is one of the most delightful and enjoyable treks in the Annapurna region of Nepal. The beauty of this trek is added by the trail that is filled with bamboo, pine and rhododendron forests and the small settlements of Gurung and Magar people. Furthermore, this trek becomes memorable because it offers an opportunity to view tantalizing scenes of icy mountains, sub-tropical valley and beautiful landscape of its surroundings. The most intriguing aspects of this trek are it presents the panoramic view of Mt. Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Manaslu and the other towering peaks. As the trails take you to the Tibetan plateau through the dense rhododendron and oak forests, you will be welcomed by the smiling faces of warm villagers who are predominantly Gurung and Magar and Tamang. One of the highlights of this trek is Poonhill (3,210/10,531ft), a hill-top popular for facilitating panoramic views of the surrounding Kaligandaki valleys, rivers, lakes, deep gorges and mountain ranges (Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Machhapuchre). There is plenty of natural hot springs along the way, and you can spend a quiet evening by taking a plunge in one of them. The initial gateway to the Annapurna region of Nepal in Pokhara. First of all, your expedition begins with a tourist bus ride to Pokhara from Kathmandu then to Nayapul or it may be by flight to Pokhara from Kathmandu and then with a bus ride. Your real trekking begins from Nayapal to Ghorepani then towards Poonhill. Aiming Adventure presents 12 days Annapurna Panorama Trek package.

Aiming Adventure suggests you get travel insurance that covers all the added expenses that might result due to various health issues, injuries or accidents (together with the air ambulance, helicopter rescue, and other treatment costs). Also, make sure that your insurance policy covers all the extra activities that you are planning to accomplish throughout your stay in Nepal. In addition to this, the policy should also cover death, misplaced luggage, theft and liability, cancellations, medical treatment (counting hospital charges, cost of the medicine, doctor’s fees) as well as repatriation cost. Most of the days while trekking in Nepal takes you above an altitude of 3000m, it is kindly requested to ensure that your insurance policy covers treks that go over 4000m. Buying insurance is highly recommended. Trekking in Nepal is physically tougher in some of the regions. However, no previous trekking experienced is required but if you have, it is a great plus point. Trekking in Nepal is a non-technical walk. The highest height you would reach on your trip is 3,210m (Pooh Hill) from sea level. The walk involves lots of ups and downhill takes you through local villages, farming lands, terraces, and riverside but as long as you have a strength of walking for 4 to 6 hours a day, you are qualified for the trek. However, you should be having moderate health and fitness. We strongly suggest travelers consult with your medical doctor before traveling and do the regular checkup of your health and report us while booking a trip with us. AMS (acute mountain sickness) is a serious issue. It is the result of the failure of the body to adapt to high altitudes and can affect anyone, regardless of age or fitness. It usually occurs above 2,500m and the likelihood of being affected increases as you ascend. The way to reduce the effects of altitude is to ascend slowly, 300 meters per day above 3,000 meters until you have acclimatized. Poor acclimatization results in a headache, nausea, sleeplessness, difficulty breathing and swelling of fingers and glands. The only cure for AMS is to descend to a lower altitude and your guide’s decision on this matter is final. Although our routes are carefully planned to allow for proper acclimatization you may feel some effects of altitude for the first few days or at higher altitudes. Breathlessness, lethargy and mild headaches are not uncommon and generally decrease as your body adjusts. Maintaining adequate fluid intake is essential. Please advise your guide if you feel more severe symptoms and do not medicate yourself without discussing it with them first.

My guide Kalu was the sweetest, kindest man, he was very knowledgeable about the peaks and route, we walked a steady pace throughout.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I had told them in May, I would be a solo traveler and really wanted to be part of a group, as I wanted to save costs & meet new people, )at one stage I almost convinced friends to come with, but it didn’t actualize), they had assured me that I would be part of a group and when I arrived it was only me & they wanted to charge me full price and didn’t sit quite right with me. In order to assist me Bikal cut the porter to save costs and we agreed on a price. In the end, going solo was the best experience ever, I never had to wait for anyone and everything was done at my pace.
It truly was a once in a lifetime experience, thanks so much Bikal & Kalu!

So, overall, you have a different choice of food on the trek. You can pick up from the menu whatever you would like to have.Best Trekking Seasons:
Spring: - (March, April, May) - Best warmest time to trek. Rhododendron flowers in bloom- excellent trails and clear skies, best visibility. Good Temperature, warmest weather of the year.
Autumn: - (Mid-September, October, and November) - Excellent trails, clear blue skies, best visibility, neither too hot nor too cold time. This is another best time to trek.
Winter Months: - (December, January, and February) are also good, but it’s obviously colder than other times. You have to be prepared for this. It is up to you to plan this trek at this cold time or not.
Summer: - Monsoon, so rain and visibility can be a big issue (from Mid-June, July, and August). We do not suggest you this time for the trek.What to bring?
