Must-Know
Essential Information

Nepal Student Adventure Tour difficulty

By the nature of the trail and elevation rise, the Poon Hill trek is considered one of the easygoing treks in the Himalayas. This trek is perfect for beginner trekkers and doable for all age groups. You will have to be healthy and can walk 5 hours a day to participate in Ghorepani Poon Hill trekking. Don't worry. We take ample breaks during trekking, so you'll walk less than 5 hours straight.

Poon hill terrain is mountainous and has lots of long ascents and descents. The trekkers have to be mentally stronger than physically to do this trek. Some parts of the trail are steep and trodden. The most demanding part of the trek is when you climb almost 3000 staircases on the way from Tikhedhunga to Ghorepani.

Altitude sickness

Nayapul, the starting point of the trek, is at 1,070 meters. From here, the trail ascends to Poon Hill, the highest point of the trek at 3,210 meters. The elevation gain is minimal, and the trail has a gentle pace, letting the trekkers acclimate. The risks of altitude sickness during Poon Hill trekking are pretty low, and even if you get any symptoms, our experienced guide will help you subside them.

Below are some symptoms of altitude sickness:

  • headache
  • vomiting
  • difficulty in breathing
  • insomnia
  • loss of appetite

It would help if you had many permits for the Nepal student tour, including entrance fees to visit the cultural heritage sites in Kathmandu, a river permit for rafting in Trisuli, an Annapurna conservation area project permit, a TIMS permit, and national park entry permits to visit Chitwan national park. We apply and get all these permits for you once you book a student tour in Nepal.

We provide a 3-star hotel for three nights in Kathmandu, two nights in Pokhara, and two nights in Chitwan, as well as simple lodge/teahouse accommodation for the rest of the four nights on the trek. The rooms are basic, usually just a bed with a pillow and blankets on the trek lodge/guest house. Please remember that some are basic, and a sense of adventure is necessary.

Best time for the Nepal Student Adventure Tour

Student tours in Nepal are available and doable throughout the year. However, the autumn season (from mid-September to mid-December) and spring (from the beginning of March to the end of May) are the best times for Nepal student tours in terms of weather and temperature.

We provide 32 meals (11 breakfasts, ten lunches, and 11 dinners). You also have various Nepali and Western meals and drinks (coffee, tea, milk, soft drinks, and beer). However, these drinks are not included in the cost. You can buy them yourself at the lodge or guest house.

We advise you to bring water purification pills or medicine while coming for the Nepal student Adventure. You have normal water for free, or you can buy bottled or boiled water.

Travel Insurance for Nepal Student Adventure

It would help if you had a travel insurance policy when you come for a Nepal student Adventure. We transfer you to the nearest hospital in case of any sickness or injury. You will be entirely liable for all the expenses incurred during the evacuation/rescue. So, please make sure that your insurance policy covers these expenses.
