About this trip
This is a teahouse trek through the Annapurna region, mixing multi-day hiking with time in Kathmandu and Pokhara. You walk through forest trails and mountain villages, staying in local teahouses along the way.
The trek builds toward Poon Hill, where you climb up for dawn views of the Himalayas. Before and after the mountains, you get city time in Kathmandu and lakeside Pokhara, taking in stupas and temples.
It suits travellers who want a proper walking trip with real cultural stops either side, rather than a pure summit push.
What you'll do
- Explore Kathmandu and visit the Monkey Temple (Swayambhunath)
- Hike to Poon Hill for sunrise views of the Annapurna range
- Trek through forest trails in the Annapurna foothills
- Stay in teahouses along the route
- Wander Pokhara's lakeside area, stupas, and Hindu temples
- Teahouse trek — expect simple, shared mountain lodging rather than hotels
- Involves multi-day hiking at altitude, so a reasonable level of fitness helps

Your free day in Kathmandu
Landing early, staying on, or filling free time? The best-rated day experiences in Kathmandu — you book on Viator (we may earn a commission).
Worth it if you value attentive guides, small groups, and immersive trekking. Think twice if you need comfort—tea houses are genuinely basic.
- Guides anticipate needs constantly: hydration, hunger, pace adjustments, accurate arrival predictions.
- Regional manager Tek Bahadur provides exceptional pre-trek prep: gear checks, city orientation, deep local knowledge.
- Tea house accommodation is primitive; expect basic facilities, not comfort. Clean but no frills.
- Lots of stairs and steep ups and downs; trekking is genuinely challenging but doable at your own pace.
