Hindu Brahman and Chhetri, Buddhist farmers inhabit these regions, along with two Tibeto-Berman groups: the Magars (skilled craftsmen in stone and wood who farm the lower slopes) and the Gurungs (originally herders from Tibet who farm and tend sheep higher up). The distinctive architecture of these community and the opportunities for experiencing their friendly hospitality in the teahouses adds a special dimension to the trek.

Whilst friendly Ghorepani has geared itself to cater to the needs of the streams of trekkers who visit Poon Hill annually; an afternoon in Ghandruk presents an opportunity to explore a modern village, observing the life and culture of the Gurung people. Local crafts include pottery, weaving and carpet making. The Ghandruk Cultural Museum is a popular attraction nearby, which provides an insight into Gurung culture and history. ]]> Sat, 08 Jul 2023 08:12:39 +0000 Landmark News 1 http://www.itsecurity.ipt.pw/News/annapurna-poon-hill-sunrise-trek-9-days/ http://www.itsecurity.ipt.pw/News/mardi-himal-trek-12-days/
Begin the trek with a short drive from Pokhara to Dhampus Phedi and trek shortly further to Deurali through Pothana to stay for the night. Head to the pleasant forest camp at Kokar the next day.

Mardi Himal Base Camp trail climbs past fast flowing streams through forests of dense bamboo, rhododendron and oak to ridge crests where small and hospitable farming communities work their terraced lands. These village people have not felt the impact of mass tourism and thus offer you the opportunity to experience their warmth, hospitality and customs; largely unchanged for generations.

Gradually ascend the Low and High camps over the next couple of days and reach the West Camp on the third day. The Mardi Himal West Camp at 4500m is the highest point of the trek. The scenery expands as the trail rises, offering panoramic views of the Himalayan giants from Dhaulagiri in the west, across the huge Annapurna group and Machhapuchhare to Manaslu in the east. Few locations can offer so close an encounter with the giants in such peaceful surroundings. ]]> Sat, 08 Jul 2023 08:11:20 +0000 Landmark News 1 http://www.itsecurity.ipt.pw/News/mardi-himal-trek-12-days/ http://www.itsecurity.ipt.pw/News/poon-hill-budget-trek-4-days/
Annapurna Poon Hill Budget Trek begins from your hotel in Pokhara with a drive over the middle hills to the trailhead at Nayapul. Trek through a mix of terraced farmlands and glorious rhododendron, oak and bamboo forests. From ridges there are spectacular views of the 6 000m/19 600ft snow clad peaks of the range.

A highlight is the early morning walk from Ghorepani to Nepal's most visited physical landmark: the grassy summit of Poon Hill (3 210m/10 530ft). It offers magnificent sunrise views that include Dhaulagiri I, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, the fish-tailed peak of sacred Machhapuchhare and Manaslu.

The return trail heads east to Tadapani for a night. It then swings southeast to the interesting Gurung village of Ghandruk (visit the traditional artefact museums if time permits) before dropping south to Nayapul. Great mountain views from high ridges continue, with Machhapuchhare dominant in the northeast. ]]> Sat, 08 Jul 2023 08:09:50 +0000 Landmark News 1 http://www.itsecurity.ipt.pw/News/poon-hill-budget-trek-4-days/ http://www.itsecurity.ipt.pw/News/poon-hill-short-trek-3-days/
