Trekkers can choose either local buses or jeeps. Local buses are more cost effective than Jeeps however it is more crowded as it is served to local people also and it is more uncomfortable compared to Jeeps. Jeeps are more comfortable and more expensive than local buses. You can either book shared Jeep or Private Jeep. In a shared Jeep you have to share your Jeep with local visitors/trekkers and in Private Jeeps you don't have to share. It will be better to book a private jeep if you are trekking with your family or group of friends. During high season time, there will be a limited number of jeeps so, we recommend you to book two way transportation in advance. In some places like Pokhara there is an airport facility , so you can travel by plane also. During the dry season, the condition of the road is good but during the monsoon the condition of the road may not be as good as we expect, so it will be better to make your next plan or destination after knowing about the road's condition. **Accommodation: Tea house or Guest House** Accommodation here is budget friendly that range from normal hotel room to luxury room. You can get a luxury hotel room in Pokhara however in Ghorepani, Tadapani, and Ghandruk all you can get is a teahouse and small guest houses. However, teahouses and other small guest houses are clean and cozy with a homely environment. ### **Types of Accommodation Options in Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek** 1. **Hotel** Hotels of Ghorepani Poon Hill offer cozy hotel rooms with a warm bed, a hot shower and a tasty meal. The staff of hotels are well-mannered, and they are well trained. They will serve you with respect and love. They will welcome you with warm hospitality in Nepalese style i.e with Mala or flowers. Most hotels provide private rooms with twin sharing beds with attached bathrooms and balconies. They will also provide wifi facilities and charging facilities. Every window and balcony of the hotel offer beautiful views of sunset and sunrise. 2. **Lodges and Guest House** Basically lodges are run by the family so, it is like a family business while guest houses are like hotels on a smaller scale. Lodges are simple private shared rooms with charging and wifi facilities. The guest house offers all the facilities that are provided by lodges along hot showers that are not provided by lodges. Lodges and guest houses are less expensive than hotels. 3. **Teahouses** Most of the villages have teahouses. Teahouses are run by the family. When you spend a day here we can actually get a chance to connect with local people there. You will have a chance to experience the local culture and try local cruise food. The room and bathroom are mostly shared. Teahouses offer hot showers but you have to pay an extra fee for it. There may or may not be wifi facilities. 4. **Camping ** Camping also could be a better option for a short trek like Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek however it is quite difficult to spend night here. It requires more preparation and training about setting up the tent. Camping experience makes trekking more of an adventure. We suggest camping only during Autumn ( September to November)  and Spring ( March to May) because other seasons are not suitable for camping as during that season weather is unpredictable. The hotel, lodges, and teahouses of the villages are not like luxury hotels of Kathmandu and Pokhara so don’t expect luxury facilities. Although the rooms are not luxury, it will provide all the basic necessary facilities. Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is one of the most popular treks in the Annapurna region so during high peak season, we suggest you do advance booking of hotels. **Culture on Ghorepani Poon Hill ** Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek offers breathtaking views of nature and mountains along with that Ghorepani Poon Hill is rich in culture and tradition. The villages including Ulleri, Tadapani, Ghandruk, and Ghorepani are home for mainly magar and gurung community people. People of these villages are mostly unknown to the modern world due to remote areas and less wifi facilities which can be also the reason, people are innocent and kind-hearted. **Gurung Ethnic Group ** Gurung ethnic groups have their own language, religious and cultural customs. They celebrate “Tamu Loshar”. Tamu loshar is the new year for the Gurung ethnic group.  The cultural dresses worn by the gurung community are lungi, ghalek, green colored mala, and blue patuki.
