Poon Hill Review

We started in early morning but due to our poor stamina, we nearly missed the sunrise. The view of the sunrise and its ray shining on those mountains was magnificent. It is a tiring trek for beginners but really worthwhile.

Once in our life… Very good trekking in a beginner level. Nice view, good way to exercise and meditation along the way.

The Buen Mountain small ring line is a great entry-level hike. The difficulty and intensity are not too big. It takes 3 days to walk, plus a total of four days and three nights from Bokhara. Since there are only four days and three nights, there is no need to bring too much luggage, bring the necessary items, other luggage can be stored in the hotel. It is not recommended to follow the group, you can go by yourself. The two documents required for hiking can be found on a certain treasure and will be sent to your hotel in Pokhara. Pokhara can take a taxi to and from Nanxunpu, remember to counter-offer, of course, you can also take the local bus, the cost is much cheaper. When you arrive at Nanxunpu, you can hire a backman, he will help you carry your luggage (cannot bring a suitcase, use a shoulder bag), you can carry a small package of valuables food and water yourself, I went to the backman a few years ago cost 100 yuan a day (equivalent to 1700 Nepalese rupees), tipping is also given, Generally for 5 dollars or equivalent rupees, in addition to the backpack, they also do a guide, take you to the inn, the backman will be simple English, communication is no problem. The inn in the mountains is generally a room with two beds. Except for individual inns, most of the inn rooms do not have a bathroom. The toilet and bath are shared. Don't worry about the accommodation and meal fees of the back husband. He takes you to the inn and is responsible for this inn. The room rate does not include any meals, so eat, buy hot water drinks, surf the Internet, charge (there is basically no socket in the room, only lights), bathing is paid separately, don't worry, any inn, will not slaughter customers, the price is within acceptable range. If the back husband takes you to the inn, you feel dissatisfied, let him find another one for you, there are many inns in the small village. The intensity of walking every day is not too big, the road is also easy to walk, stone steps, dirt roads, the whole trip is not dangerous and steep roads, of course, since it is hiking, every day over the mountains is inevitable. This itinerary can see the Annapurna Mountains, Nepal's local villages, terraces, rivers and streams, waterfalls, and through the virgin forest, with a very diverse landscape. One day, I have to get up and climb the mountain before dawn, go to the observation deck to watch the sunrise of the Annapurna Mountains, you can also watch the fishtail peak and the snow mountain drink coffee, eat, great! Recommend the best seasons in October (after National Day) and November, the dry season does not rain, the road is in good condition, the visibility is high, and there are not many tourists on foot.

Once in our life… It’s a wonderful trip ✌️

Four-day hiking is just right. The first day from Nayapul has no scenery, the pure step rises very collapsed. It is suggested to live in Ulere, the next day in Ghoreapani, so that the steps can not collapse for two days. On the third morning, go to Poonhill to see the sunrise and then go down to Tadapani; and on the fourth day, return to Bokara. 1. Must take slippers, rest stations have free hot water to provide a bath, but the bathroom is a public bathroom, very poor, the floor is dirty, without slippers, that floor, barefoot really do not have the courage to step on. 2. Be sure to arrive at the rest station at night before 4 p.m. All rest stations, hot water is solar energy, without the sun, you can't take a bath. 3. The temperature difference is very large. It is recommended to wear warm clothes at night and hike during the day. It is very hot. 4. Do a good job of sun protection, the sun is especially big. 5. Take enough money with you. It costs about 1500 rupees per person per day on the mountain. The consumption on the mountain is calculated in rupees. If you only take RMB, there will be a huge loss in the exchange rate. 6. Money for everything on the mountain, including breakfast. Water also needs money, no matter hot water or cold water, that kind of cold water without money is tap water, I dare not drink it. Never bring sleeping bags, beds on the hills, quilts and pillows. They can only be described as nausea. Sleep safely in your sleeping bag. 8. Don't bring any communication facilities. It's useless to bring them. There's no network in the mountains and no place to charge them. 9. Because the third day is downhill, many stone steps, by the fourth day, the legs have been as disabled as the disabled, in the middle of the mountain, there is LOCAL BUS, almost 400 rupees a person, if with the guide, it is estimated that 300 rupees can also be talked about. You can get down by car. But because it's a local Nepalese car, it's frightening, especially crowded, and the roof can also sit on people. Here's a picture of a local bus in Chiwang. The cars coming down the hill are similar to this one.
