The famous viewpoint at Poon Hill offers panoramic vistas of some of the highest peaks in the Himalayas, including a memorable sunrise experience.
Accommodation in Kathmandu and Pokhara consists of comfortable hotels with breakfast included, providing a good standard of rest and facilities between trekking days. These hotels offer easy access to local amenities and a chance to enjoy the cities’ unique atmospheres.
During the trek, accommodation is arranged in tea houses, simple lodges that offer basic but clean rooms and meals. Staying in these mountain lodges allows a closer connection to the local culture and environment, while providing the necessary comfort for restful evenings after each day’s walk.
People joining should be physically prepared for trekking several hours daily on varied terrain. While previous trekking experience is helpful, those new to trekking can also enjoy the trip with suitable fitness and preparation.

Committed to community support, the centre employs guides from remote areas and donates part of its revenue to local projects. This approach helps travellers contribute positively to the regions they visit while enjoying authentic cultural experiences.
The trek involves walking for several hours each day on varied terrain, including uphill and downhill sections. While it does not require advanced mountaineering skills, a moderate level of fitness is important to fully enjoy the experience and keep up with the group pace. Regular walking or hiking practice before the trip will be beneficial.
People new to trekking can participate if they prepare physically in advance. It is recommended to gradually increase your walking distance and include some hill training if possible. The guides will support all persons throughout the trek and adjust the pace if needed, but a reasonable baseline of stamina is needed for comfort and safety.
No prior yoga experience is necessary. The professional yoga instructors lead classes that are suitable for beginners through to intermediate levels. They will guide you through basic postures, breathing exercises, and meditation techniques designed to enhance your physical and mental well-being.
The sessions focus on improving flexibility, strength, and relaxation, allowing everyone to benefit regardless of skill level. Whether you are new to yoga or have some experience, the classes are tailored to help you gain the most from each practice in the peaceful mountain setting.
Daily walking times vary from about 3 to 8 hours, with some days including steep ascents such as the climb to Poon Hill. Terrain can be uneven and involves stone steps, dirt paths, and occasional rocky sections. The altitude reaches up to around 2874 metres, which may require acclimatisation.
The itinerary is designed to balance trekking and rest, including a rest day in Pokhara. Yoga sessions twice daily also support recovery and help maintain flexibility and strength. Guides will ensure the pace suits the group’s overall ability.
