Is it misguided by the new name Poon Hill Teahouse Trekking? It seems like you have never been to the Himalayan Region of Nepal. As a result, this term is slightly tricky for you. Or, at least, a new one. Don’t worry, though! It is shared here and among travellers who have been to this Himalayan Nation, not to mention we are here to help you.
You might get curious, why would somebody go trekking to get from one Teahouse to the next? People in rural Nepal use English words at their convenience, so they often confuse tourists. People often refer to restaurants as hotels and inns as lodges in rural areas. I don’t mean Teahouse stands for something entirely different, provided it is slightly different from what you may take a teahouse for.
What are Tea Houses?
A teahouse in these regions isn’t where you get only a cup of tea, coffee, or refreshments. Along these trekking trails, meals are also provide in Teahouse. In addition to meals, you will even get a good place to sleep in. It means a combo of a restaurant, a Teahouse, and a small hotel. In other words, it won’t be a challenging job for you to find such teahouses every 2 or 3 kilometres. But the density depends well upon the arrival of foot traffic (domestic or international tourists).
Poon Hill Teahouse Trekking 7 days is arguably the finest short teahouse trekking in the Annapurna area. This trekking trip unfolds an abundance of natural beauty, and Mesmerizing sunrises are the most fantastic scenery in the mountains in the country.
