trekking advice annapurna

Hello, can anyone give me some advice on how trekking is now between pokhara and jonsom?

I%26#39;m planning on doing the trek with my girlfriend at the end of February, having done it in reverse about 10 years ago, and was wondering how things had changed along the route.

What i wanted to know is:

1) Is there accomodation along the route which has western toilets and showers (my girlfriend is not as used to budget accomodation as i am)?

2) How much is the flight back to Pokhara and is it easy to get?

3) How many days is it from Birethati to Jonsom?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Hi Bennyg,

Quite a bit has actually changed in 10 years. It is again changing quite quickly with the building of a new road all the way to Jonsom.

1) yes there are western toilets enroute and showers enroute. On the other side the standard is a little lower, so you will be fine here all the way to Jonsom.

2) A flight cost $85 USD PP. You should book a day in advance.

3) Birethati to Jonsom can take anything from 5-7+ days depending on where you stop off along the way. For example the hotsprings are a great place to stop off with a nice hotel attached that might have you staying a bit longer. Likewise if you get a vista worth staying around for.
