Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ghorepani Ghandruk Circuit Trekking Difficult?
Talking about the difficulties, Ghorepani Ghandruk Circuit Trekking is not considered a difficult trip. Nepal's most popular Himalayan trek is Ghorepani Poon Hill Ghandruk Circuit Trek. Most travelers/trekkers in fair physical condition will finish this trip without difficulty, and no prior trekking experience is required. However, because this trip will take you to elevations higher than 3,000 meters, it's critical to drink lots of water and get plenty of rest to allow your body to acclimate to the higher altitude naturally.
What kind of Meals will be available during the journey to Ghorepani Ghandruk Circuit Trekking?
During the trek, all types of meals will be offered in the Annapurna region, and you can enjoy traditional Nepalese foods such as Nepali Dal Bhat and other regional specialties. They also provide unique menus where you may choose from various European, Italian, Chinese, and Indian foods available on the voyage.
Do Travelers need any visas during the Ghorepani Ghandruk Circuit Trekking?
Travelers and trekkers to Nepal must obtain a visa at the Tribhuvan International Airport or through the embassy of Nepal in their home country. The majority of travelers will obtain an on-the-spot permit at the Kathmandu Airport. Please ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of your arrival in Nepal, which begins on the date you enter the country. You must also provide additional passport-size photographs of yourself.
What do you mean by Tea house trekking?
The most popular sort of trekking in Nepal is teahouse hiking. It's available in the Annapurna, Everest, Langtang, and Manaslu trekking zones. Tea house trekking provides comfortable lodging and delicious meals, including Nepali Dal Bhat.
Do the travelers face altitude sickness?
The effects of altitude are unpredictable and unrelated to your level of fitness. The key to staying healthy is not to overdo it. The measurement results are more likely to appear once you've climbed over 3000 meters, and it's not a good idea to rise more than 300-400 meters every day once you've reached that level. This may mean short walking days of only a few hours, but it is vital if it means you don't rise too high, too rapidly.
