Here in Pokhara, travellers can enjoy activities like boating, paragliding, bungee jumping and sightseeing tour to Gupteswor Cave and Davis Fall.

Then, the tour takes you to the trailhead of Poonhill Trek, Nayapool. The trekkers will ascend up to Tikhedhunga then to Ulleri and Banthanti. This is the most exciting part of this tour because you are ascending to Poonhill (3200m) through Ghorepani village (2800m). Both Ghorepani and Poonhill are popular vantage points for witnessing mountains like Annapurna Massif, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Gangapurna, Lamjung Himal, Manaslu and Ganesh Himal.

Actually, going up to 3200m above sea level in the mountain is not difficult and even the Ghorepani Poonhill trekking trail is not technical and slippery with rocky hills and steep slopes. The trail is cool and serene in Annapurna Conservation Area taking you all the way up through the lush forest and natural waterfalls till you get to the highest elevation, Poonhill and Ghorepani. 
Summing up, the Ghorepani-Poonhill Trek is for beginners who want to experience an easy trek in Nepal witnessing the entire Annapurna mountain ranges. Trekkers trekking to Poonhill don’t require any technical trekking skills. Yes, beginners can do this trek.

Food and Accommodation   
Until Pokhara, trekkers will enjoy luxury accommodations and they can have the food items they like. But, when they ascend to Ulleri and Poonhill-Ghorepani, they may not have much of a chance to have accommodation and food items. However, don’t be sad, there are plenty of lodges and guesthouses to organize your accommodation and food. Moreover, your guide will manage beautiful food and accommodation for you during the trek.

The flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara is 40 minutes maximum and the road trip is 7-8 hours. Even, the road gets disturbed by heavy traffic and other issues. So, flight is recommended.

Remember to choose a down jacket that fits you well and allows for easy movement. Prioritize your comfort, warmth, and safety when selecting a down jacket for your trekking adventure.

Hand-wear

Light Gloves:  You feel comfortable with a thin liner glove for lower temperatures or to wear inside your thick outer gloves for extreme temps. having liner gloves helps to keep your hands warm at all times.

Ensure you choose gloves that fit well and allow for comfortable movement. Gloves that are too tight may restrict circulation, while those that are too loose may not provide sufficient warmth.

Ensure that you break in your new footwear before the trek to avoid discomfort or blisters during your journey.

  • Hiking Shoes: Trail Runners shoes for shorter treks on well-established trails in milder conditions, trail running shoes can be a viable option. They offer a lightweight and agile design but may provide less ankle support and protection compared to boots or hiking shoes.
  • Camp Shoes:  Camp shoes worn around camp after a day of trekking. The primary purpose of camp shoes is to give your feet a break from the rigors of trekking boots or shoes. They provide comfort and allow your feet to breathe while you relax at camp

A properly fitting backpack is very important for comfort and avoiding discomfort or strain during your trek. Look for backpacks with adjustable shoulder straps, a padded hip belt, and a sternum strap. Consider trying on different backpacks to find the one that fits your body shape and provides proper weight distribution. A good trekking backpack should have a supportive suspension system that effectively transfers the weight to your hips.

Why is it important tourism for Students ?

Tourism is very important for students as it offers numerous benefits apart from usual classroom learning. Here's why it is so important for them:
Increased Cultural Awareness: Travel exposes students to different cultures, traditions, languages, and ways of life. This helps them develop a global mindsetwhich makes them tolerant and culturally awareBeing exposed to different cultures can enrich their approach to life and result in more open-minded thought processes.
Educational Value: 
Travel is often involved in tourism to historical sites, museums, natural wonders, and geographical landmarks that reinforce school studies. It makes learning from textbooks real in a more enjoyable and memorable way. For example, history lessons on ancient civilizations become tangible when one tours archaeological ruins or museums.
Personal Growth and Independence: 
Travel encourages students to step out of their comfort zones and become independent. They learn to maneuver through unknown places, handle budgets, solve issues, and deal with new environments. This growth can help them become confident and self-reliant.
Developing Social Skills: Tourism, whether with classmates, teachers, or even by oneselfencourages students to interact with strangers and build communication skills. It could make them feel more at ease collaborating with others in diverse environmentsencouraging teamwork and collaboration.
Career Development: 
Having experience in different industries, cultures, and economies can give students an edge while applying for future careers. Tourism also helps them understand the significance of hospitality, tourism management, and other sectors in the global economy.
Stress Relief and Mental Well-being: Traveling 
removes the student from the academic stressgiving them time to unwind and rejuvenateHaving the opportunity to explore new places and activities has the potential to enhance mental health by relieving stress and fostering relaxation.
Environmental Awareness: 
Tourismand especially eco-tourism, creates awareness about the protection of the environment and conserving natural resources. Students can learn about sustainability concepts and how tourism can impact the environment, leading them to become more environmentally conscious.
Learning Responsibility: Travel requires planning, budgeting, and 
organization. These are valuable skills for students to acquire as they develop time management, decision-making, and organizational skills that will serve them well in academic and personal life.
Inspiration and Creativity: Exposure to new places and experiences 
has a way of inspiring creativity. Students may return from a trip with fresh ideas for projects, writing, or artwork based on the people and places they've encountered.
Creating Lasting Memories: Travel gives students experiences that last a lifetime. Not only do these experiences enhance students' personal lives, but they also give students stories and experiences to share with others, allowing them to bond further with classmates and mentors.

Finallystudent tourism is not so much about visiting places as it is about leveraging travel to make students better studentsmore open-minded people, and more prepared for success in an increasingly interdependent world.
