Best Time
Did you find this package fascinating and exciting? Are you now wondering when would be the ideal time to embark? Well, let’s discuss it in this section.
Although the trek can be done any time of the year, the best would be spring (March-May) and fall (September-November). These seasons offer pleasant weather and breathtaking views of the glorious mountains. The skies during these times are a clear shade of blue and turn pinkish shade in the evening.
Being the peak season for trekking, hikes during these times are particularly enjoyable. You’ll walk through the beautiful rhododendron forest under the warm sun in spring. And in fall, you’ll see a different color change in nature and enjoy hiking with the cool breezy air.
Fitness Level
The Annapurna Trek with yoga is the best journey to rejuvenate and connect with your inner self.
But what are the requirements for this trek? And how difficult is it?
The Trek takes you through the breathtaking Himalayas each day and rejuvenates your mind and body with the yoga practice. It is graded as an easy-to-moderate trek that can be done by all age groups. You don’t even need to have prior trekking experience to embark on this trek. The trek follows a gradual progression route. Hence, you’ll have plenty of time to adjust to the new and changing altitudes. Although the 10-Day journey is considered easy, you’ll walk for about 5-6 hours daily. Hence, it is essential to do some cardio and add nutrition to your diet a month before the trek.
Picture this: you're trekking through the stunning Himalayan mountains, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and breathtaking vistas. The air is crisp and clean, and the only sounds are the rustling of leaves and the occasional bird song. As you make your way through traditional Nepali villages and lush forests, you feel your body getting stronger and more flexible with each step.
But this trek isn't just about physical fitness - it's also an opportunity to deepen your spiritual practice and connect with nature on a deeper level. That's where the yoga comes in! Imagine practicing yoga and meditation in the most stunning locations - perched on a mountain viewpoint or near a cascading waterfall. The serenity and tranquility of these surroundings will help you find inner peace and connect with your fellow trekkers.
Alternative Treks
Following are the alternative journey that you can look into if this trek isn’t to your liking.
The Annapurna Poon Hill Trek is a relatively shorter trek that excludes yoga and follows the same route as the Annapurna Trek with yoga.
If you want more adventure, you can opt for the Nepal Adventure Tour. The 12-Day journey is a perfect blend of hiking, wildlife, and water thrills.
Regardless of the trekking package you choose, we’ll be sure to make your trek worthwhile that will be in your memory for a very long time.

Travellers‘ Reviews
Read our genuine feedback from past travelers with Nepal Hiking Team sourced from TripAdvisor, Google, Facebook, and Trustpilot.
Amazing experience thanks to our 5-star guide/porter team
We had the best time in Nepal. The beautiful views and warm hospitality of the Nepali people are truly unparalleled.
Instrumental to our amazing experience were our guide, Netra, and porter, Vasu.
We were super well taken care of. Netra was quick to assess our physical abilities and was able to effectively set the pace for our hikes. He had very good knowledge of the route and terrain. Importantly, this was our first time attempting a hike at a high altitude, so he took extra care to check on us regularly.
On a personal note, proper gear, including a powerful down jacket for -20 degrees Celsius and a proper hiking backpack, is super essential.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Nepal Hiking Team and Netra/Vasu for your Nepal adventure!

Highest praise for Nepal Hiking Team
I highly recommend the Nepal Hiking Team for anyone planning to trek in Nepal. My spouse and I had a fantastic time on our trek and greatly credit our positive experience to the thought and care put into it by Nepal Hiking Team in coming up with a personalized plan that would enable us to succeed.
Every detail was considered to match us based on our abilities and interests. We also could not have felt more cared for minute to minute by the team that supported us from the minute we arrived in Kathmandu until our departure.
Our guide, Nim, was amazing -- so careful, thoughtful, warm, and supportive. And our porters, Sabin and Ganesh, were delightful. They were all unbelievably generous in terms of how much they worked to ensure we were comfortable and prepared. They thought of every detail along the way.

Awesome Trek to Poon Hill and ABC
We're three friends from Hong Kong who undertook Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp. Two months before our Nepal adventure, we started looking for a travel agency to sort out all the details so we could enjoy a hassle-free trip. Nepal Hiking Team was incredibly responsive, offering us useful suggestions every step of the way.
We chose them to handle everything from hotel bookings to internal flights and airport pickups. Our guide, Rajesh, was both fun and young, attentive and attentive to our needs. When our flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara was canceled due to weather, Rajesh swiftly arranged a jeep to Pokhara, keeping us right on schedule.
Throughout the trek, he was vigilant about our safety, which gave us great peace of mind. Our porters, Robin and Budda, were always upbeat and industrious, carrying our bags with constant smiles and ensuring our comfort. This trek was our first hiking experience abroad, and it couldn't have been better. The people of Nepal are hot and welcoming.
The views from the mountains were breathtaking, and the sunrise over the snow-capped peaks from Poon Hill was simply stunning.

Memorable Vacation - Ghorepani poon hill with Nepal hiking team
We had to make some last-minute changes to our itinerary, deciding to spend more time in Pokhara and less in Kathmandu during our final days. Nepal Hiking Team was super flexible and happily adjusted everything for us, even on short notice.
On top of that, we wanted to book some activities like zip-lining, bungee jumping, and a helicopter tour with local providers in Pokhara. Ganga, Hari, and the team took care of all the bookings and made sure we had everything we needed.
In the end, we had an absolutely unforgettable vacation in the stunning Nepal!
Nepal is incredible on its own—but Nepal Hiking Team makes it even better!
I highly recommend booking with them, and without a doubt, I’ll be using them again for any future trips to Nepal.

Highly Recommended: Poon Hill Trek
My partner and I booked our entire Nepal trip with Nepal Hiking Team, and they did not disappoint! Everything was fantastic—well-organized from start to finish. Raj worked closely with us to plan the itinerary in detail, making sure we got exactly the trip we wanted.
Since we only had two weeks in Nepal, we chose the Poon Hill Trek so we could explore other places as well. It’s a great option for anyone short on time but still wanting a rewarding trek. The views from Poon Hill were stunning, and we stayed in cozy tea houses in mountain villages along the way.
Our guide, Santosh, was amazing—knowledgeable, thoughtful, and always making sure things ran smoothly. Best of all, he was fun and made the trek even more enjoyable!
If you’re planning a trek in Nepal, we highly recommend Nepal Hiking Team. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and top-notch service mean we’d 100% book with them again for our next trip!
