Treating Ghorepani Poon Hill as uncrowded. October and April see 300 to 500 trekkers daily on the Poon Hill sunrise climb. Choose Khopra Ridge or Mardi Himal for solitude.

Skipping the ACAP permit. The permit is checked at Birethanti (south entry) and Koto (Nar Phu entry). Trekkers without permits are turned back and fined USD 50.
