Our accommodations were cozy, and the cuisine was truly delectable. The trekking routes offered awe-inspiring vistas of Nepal's breathtaking landscapes. Notably, the company's dedication to sustainability and responsible tourism was truly praiseworthy. I wholeheartedly recommend Treklanders for an extraordinary adventure in Nepal! One particular highlight that stood out was our visit to the Annapurna Base Camp, an absolutely amazing and unforgettable experience 😊.
Age is no bar for this short moderate trek for a week duration, family with young kids and elderly people can join. But all needs to be physically fit and in sound health to cope with ups and downhill walks. Rest of the walks is normal spending overnights in a nice lodge with comprehensive food menu to enjoy.
For young infants, can hire extra porter to carry the kids if required, especially on ups and downhill.
Nearly all villages and lodges have electricity from Hydro or Solar power, where one can charge their electronic items. Where client needs to pay an extra fee for using the power as per gadgets charged. As for internet and cell phone communications, every lodges have the Wi-Fi and internet services, but can be quite disturbing sometimes due to weather and location wise.
From Pokhara onwards to ABC one can enjoy the comfort of nice lodges and guest house. As well with warm traditional hospitality in every overnight stops, people can choose from budget, standard lodges. But from Chomrong onwards to ABC the lodges are simple with basic rooms having common bathe and toilets.
But serving good foods as per the menu provided on every lodge restaurants in a nice large dining rooms.
The foods includes from Continental, Chinese, Indian, Tibetan and Nepali foods, as well Mexican, Italian, Korean or Japanese in some lodge restaurants. Includes fresh bakery products also.
From Pokhara aerial distance of 37 k.m. / 23 miles, but walking after the drive covering maximum of 15 k.m. and minimum of 4-6 k.m.
The total walking distance is approx. 75 k.m. or 47 miles, the longest hours of walks is from Chomrong to Dovan and back to Bamboo, from Annapurna Base Camp. Rest of the walk average of 4-6 hours, depends upon one physical fitness also.
Yes, certainly of course a short panoramic flight of 30 minutes to land at Pokhara domestic airport, and vice versa on the way back. But the flight airfare depends upon the cost as set on the itinerary days. If the flight is not included on trip cost, it will be at extra cost, where trekkers needs to inform the Trek Landers Adventure on early booking.
