We 10 people from Singapore just completed our 12-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek through Poon Hill in Nepal and I am already missing everything about it! Nepal Mother House Trek was very approachable when I first contacted them. Karna would always reply almost immediately. The trek scheduled was manageable and we enjoyed our time with the porters and guides Shabut and Jaya. There were lovely and always around to assist us. I would highly recommend Nepal Mother House Trek!
Two friends and I recently completeled the Annapurna Base Camp short trek. From before the trek, Nepal Mother House team was very responsive and very flexible with accommodation and dates as we only had limited time.
We had an excellent guide (Subarna) and porter. They provided an excellent service and were very flexible to accommodate the needs of the group. They were very welcoming and introduced us to their language, food and culture.
One of our members was very ill first two days of the trek but they made sure he was okay at all times and supported him throughout the trek.
The team organized all hospitality from food to accommodation through the trek, which made the trip much easier and more enjoyable for us.
I highly recommend Nepal Mother House and will definitely be back to do the Everest Base Camp with this amazing team.
We had a fantastic trip to ABC. Mother House were great.. really friendly, accommodating and were also flexible, allowing us to speed the trek up by a day to get back to Pokhara a day early! Amazing Short Trip to Annapurna Base Camp, thank you very much Karna and Jayaram! I would highly recommend Mother House!
As Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek is the most popular tea house trek in Nepal, you will stay at a Tea House or Guest House for entire trek.
Normally; the weather is perfect with Crystal clear sky with amazing mountains scenery and a lovely atmosphere. The weather is favorable the entire trip. Annapurna Base Camp Short trip starts from Phedi an elevation of 1080 meters as lowest elevation during ABC trip and through the Chomrong, Bambo, Deurali, Machhapuchhre Base Camp and family get in Annapurna Base camp (4,130m). The day will be a warm sunny day; about 20 to 25 degrees Celsius and at the high point of the ABC Trip at ABC (4,130 m) will be 5 to 10 degrees Celsius during day time and night and early morning will be 0 to -10 degrees Celsius. But it will depend on the following day's weather condition too. Normally, during this time weather is perfect. But the high Himalayan weather condition is unpredictable. It might be rain or snow sometimes. Let’s, thing good then everything goes perfect.
This is the most important question. As you are curious about height altitude sickness in this trek; according to our client's history and my field experience since 2000, we don’t any cases that are interrupted by altitude sickness. I hope you will also make the trip successfully. AS this is a short form of ABC trip; you need to be physically fit and mentally well prepared due to a long walk in one day. Annapurna Base Camp Short trek start from Siwai an elevation of 1230 meters drives from Pokhara via Nayapul (1010m) and stays overnight at Chhommrong elevation of 2140m and get in Annapurna base Camp after 2 days this is good enough time to acclimatize your body.
The insurance covers the Guide and porters in this package, but not for yours because you are traveling from your home town. Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a very low risk of High altitude sickness due to already acclimatizing before getting in Base Camp. In our experience, just a few trekkers have been affected by AMS during this trek. In case anything happened, it would be better to have full insurance for safety. The insurance should be covered up to 4,500 meters elevation, for emergency rescue and hospitalization, for this we are any time ready to assist you. The cost will be 80 USD to 150 USD depending on the different companies.
In Nepal, we also have some insurance companies in Kathmandu, but we suggest you buy from your country as you start your journey from your country. If I see my client’s history, most of them have insurance these companies; Travel Guard: American Alpine Club, Travel safe, TID, True Traveler Insurance, World Nomad, etc.
But you may find out other reliable insurance companies too. Please, just make your own decision.
As you know, mid-September to November in autumn and mid-March to May in Spring are the best times for a Nepal trip. According to your time in February for the Annapurna Base Camp, normally it is not appropriate, but you really like to do due to your holiday only this time, it is possible. It will be still good weather with crystal clear except a cold, and the tea house will remain open. If there is heavy snow falling then, you can go Poon Hill Dhampus Trek alternatively.
You are right, we will provide the sleeping bag for all of you during the Trip (after the trip needs to return back due to renting the basis). The cost is already included in the cost. If you already have got the personal sleeping bag and down a jacket, batter to bring your own, otherwise we will provide you these things.
This is the most important question. Except for a few days, most of the day you can get drinking water every one to two hours walking distance entire ABC trail. But due to environmental concerns, above the Chhomrong the plastic bottle is not alow due to environmental issues, you can buy boiling filter water from the tea house. We would like to suggest you use water purification methods; either using water purification drugs or filter machine and Ultraviolet rage (Steripen). This will help to reduce environmental pollution. It will be best to have a minimum of 3 litter’s water each day, so considering this, bring a water bottle of about 3 liters each of you. Some spring water is drinkable but we do not suggest you drink directly.
