Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Poon Hill from Kathmandu

Your guide meets you right in Kathmandu, not somewhere down the trail. You travel together by comfortable tourist bus to Pokhara, so the trip starts as a team from day one, not once you reach the mountains, with everything already arranged along the way. From there it is Poon Hill sunrise over Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, then five more days walking deeper into the Sanctuary to Base Camp itself, with the mountains closing in around you the entire route, the air thinning and the villages growing sparser the higher you climb. Real villages, real forest, a proper hot springs stop at Jhinu Danda near the end of the trek. Guide and porter included the whole way, teahouses every night, nothing technical required, just sustained walking with a genuine payoff waiting at the top for anyone willing to put the days in.
