GHOREPANI POON HILL TREK

PHOTOGRAPHERS DREAM - INCREDIBLE VIEWS!

A LESS BACK-BREAKING TREK WITH JAW-DROPPING VIEWS & CULTURALLY RICH GURUNG & MAGAR VILLAGE LIFE. A REAL NO-BRAINER! ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR TREKS IN NEPAL.

The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is a talking point among trekkers seeking spectacular views, an experience of Gurung and Magar village life, and a panoramic view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. Admire the many soaring snow-capped peaks, such as Annapurna South (7219m), Machapuchare (6993m), Hiunchuli, Annapurna III, Dhampus peak and Dhaulariri II. Experience the warmth of the locals while passing through the villages of Ulleri, Ghorepani, and Ghandruk.

Poon Hill (3210m) Trek passes through lush green forests with beautiful red rhododendrons that make you reach for your camera. This is the most popular trek in the Annapurna region. This trek is suitable for families whose sole aim is to witness first-hand the magnificent views without having to acclimatize to higher elevations.

The trail initially takes us through the Modi Khola Valley before reaching Tikhedunga. After crossing the suspension bridge over the Modi Khola we begin the climb of 3300 steps of Ulleri hill before passing through rhododendron forest before reaching the Magar Village of Ghorepani (2855m). It is essential if you want to capture the dawn views, to make an early start to ascend Poon Hill and watch the sunrise on the Annapurna Ranges. Watching the gradual rise of the sun reflecting off the mountains will leave you spell-bound and rewarded for your efforts. The 180-degree views of Dhaulagiri (8167m), Tukuche (6920m), Dhampus, Nilgiri (2637m), Annapurna South (8091), Bhara, Sikhar & Machapuchare (Fishtail- 6993m). Heading back down to Pokhara we pass through the beautiful Gurung village of Ghandruk with its traditional style of houses with their stone roofs and awesome mountain backdrop. This is an all-season trek.

Sherpa Expedition and Trekking also offer a condensed 5-day version of this trek, as well as others in the Annapurna region. We can also customize a trek just for you!

Highlights of the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

Panoramic views of the Annapurna Ranges and Dhaulagiri Ranges – especially at sunrise and sunset.
The typical culture of the Magar and Gurung people perched on the ridges in traditional houses.
Short and comfortable and highly satisfying trek with plenty of teahouses for food and accommodation.
Trek through lush valleys and rhododendron forests.

ITINERARY

Expand All

Day 1 : Arrival at Kathmandu & transfer to hotel (1350m)

Upon arrival at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport, you will be met by a Sherpa Expedition & Trekking representative, and taken to your hotel. After checking in at the hotel, you will be briefed on what to expect on your trek to Ghorepani Poon Hill. This will be followed by a welcome dinner.

Day 2 : Drive to Pokhara (850m) Duration: 5-6 hours.

Our journey begins with a 6-7 hour drive toward the Pokhara Valley and its beautiful Phewa Tal (lake) and then checking in to your hotel close to Phewa Tal. There is plenty to see and do along Lakeside with its many shops, bars, and restaurants to choose from.

Day 3 : Pokhara to Tikhedhunga (1,480m) Duration: 5-6 hours.

We will drive around 1:25 hrs from Pokhara via attractive Lumle village perched on the mountainside and then on to Nayapul (1050m). The Poon Hill trek begins at Nayapul and after a 30-minute hike reaches Birethanti where you will be asked to your tourist permit at the checkpoint. We follow the Modi River with a stop at a teahouse along the way, and after a 4 -5-hour trek reach the lush green village of Tikhedhunga.

Day 4 : Tikhedhunga to Ghorepani (2,750m) Duration: 6-7 hours.

Our trek today starts with a 2 hour fairly steep climb up to Ulleri (2070m) and then to the Magar village of Banthanti from where we are blessed with magical views of Mt. Machapuchare (6997m), Hiunchuli (6441m) and Annapurna South (7219m). After following the trail through a lush pink flowering rhododendron forest we cross a small bridge before reaching the village of Ghorepani where enormous peaks, such as Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Annapurna loom in the background. A fantastic place to sit and take in the exquisite views.

Day 5 : Ghorepani to Poon Hill viewpoint (3210m) & to Tadapani (2710m) Duration: 6-7 hours.

Poon Hill is justifiable well known for offering unheralded views of the Annapurna Ranges – especially at sunrise and sunset. An early start will see us reach the Poon Hill viewpoint where we can watch the changing colors reflecting off the mountains, such as Dhaulagiri (8167m), Annapurna I (8091m), Annapurna II (7937m), Annapurna III (7855m), Annapurna IV (7525m), Annapurna South (729m), Nilgiri (6940m), Tukuche (6920m), Varaha Shikhar (7847m) & Lamjung Himal (6931m). After sending your camera into overdrive we will return to a well-deserved breakfast at Ghorepani, after which we head to Tadapani Village via the scenic trail passing through Deurali (meaning a ridge in Nepali) and teahouses until we reach Tadapani. Overnight stay at the teahouse.

Day 6 : Trek from Tadapani to Ghandruk (2,012m) Duration: 3-4 hours.

Today’s 3-5 hour trek is relatively easy taking us through an oak and rhododendron forest. Wildflowers are noticeable along the trail, adding to the vivid beauty of this area. Once we reach the mainly Gurung village of Ghandruk we will be in awe as we view Annapurna South, Gangapurna, (7455m), Machapuchare, Annapurna III and Hiunchuli. Ghandruk is the 2nd largest Gurung village in Nepal with a population of 4748 people. It is rich in culture with a museum and Buddhist monastery. Most fascinating is its unique style of architecture with most houses having slate tiled roofs and stone walls. It is like stepping back in time! Overnight stay at the teahouse.

Day 7 : Ghandruk to Pokhara (8,50m) Duration: 5-6 hours.

Our final day trekking takes us downhill passing the teahouses at Ghandruk and continuing along the stony trail with terraced farms beside us. We then follow the trail alongside the Modi Khola (river – 50km in length) before we reach Birethanti at which point we will drive to Pokhara.

Day 8 : Drive back to Kathmandu (1,350) Duration: 6-7 hours.

Today we head back to Kathmandu, either by bus or private vehicle depending on the size of the group. Upon arrival at Kathmandu, you will be taken to your respective hotels situated close to the main tourist hub – Thamel.

GOOD TO KNOW

Accommodation

You will be accommodated in 3-star hotels in Kathmandu. During the trek, we will be staying at lodges/ teahouses. You may find comfort and better quality teahouses - having attached bathroom at lower levels- until you reach higher elevations, where the accommodation is more basic with bare necessities.

Meals during the trek

In Kathmandu, your hotel includes breakfast, whereas all meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) will be provided during the trek. A staple food of these regions is potatoes, oats, buckwheat, Sherpa stew and Tibetan bread. Sherpa’s’ started farming potatoes when the first seeds were introduced to the region in the early 90s. There is a limited choice of food at higher elevations and except many potato dishes. Potatoes are high in carbohydrates – an excellent source of energy needed at high altitudes.

Transportation

We use a private car for sightseeing and for the airport to hotel pick and drop off. We use public transportation or local buses during the trek.

Physical fitness

This can be a challenging trek where you often have to walk 6-7 hours a day. You don’t need past experience of hiking or trekking but if you have done any kind of trekking activities then it is always a plus! We have met people from all walks of life, shapes and sizes who have completed the trek. The only difficult part is when altitude sickness strikes and the effect that it can have on your body. Before leaving for Nepal it is good if you can prepare yourself physically by increasing your stamina and oxygen intake.

Remember – The better prepared – the more enjoyable your trek!

Don't skip the acclimatization days. Better to continue with Diamox (if any symptoms show up). Drink Garlic Soup.

It was beyond my expectations. The rest houses that we stayed at were indeed comfortable. We enjoyed the food; the local delicacies were treating indeed. Upon reaching the summit of Ghorepani Hill, i must say the view was spectacular. Needless to say, this surely won't be my last trip. The trek is beautiful though.
