Trip Summary

Poon Hill Trek is the right for those who don’t have much time for a longer trek, or don’t think they are physically ready for tough and longer trekking? Then Poon Hill Trek is the best option for you. Ghorepani Poon Hill trek provides easy get-in for the first day of the tour. On the day of the trekking, you have some long steep uphill stone steps to Ulleri Village from Hile but after walking about two hours from the beginning you will enter into biggest rhododendron forest. You may see different colors of rhododendron flowers if you are trekking from March to May. Once you reach Deurali which is the upper part of Ghorepani you may observe the stunning and incomparable views of the giant Annapurna. On the second night, we stay at Ghorepani, at an altitude of 2855 meters. Most trekkers rise before down and hike up to Poon Hill (3210m) for an early morning pleasure trek. The spectacular panorama stretches from Dhaulagiri I (8167m), Tukche Peak (6920m), Nilgiri (6940m), Annapurna South (7219m), Annapurna I (8091m), Hiunchuli (6441m), Machhapuchhre (6997m) and the Lamjung Himal and Manaslu to Far East. 

The sunrise view from Poon Hill is marvelous and is said to be one of the best viewpoints in Annapurna trekking and easily accessed from Pokhara, reached after days walk, not so tough in terms of difficulty of Poon Hill Trek as a result this trek is very popular for family trekkers. We start our trek from Nayapul, a 42km drive from Pokhara and the Ghorepani Nayapul trail is a pleasurable walk for the first day, a meaningful exploration of Gurung and Magar culture and tradition and an interaction with the locals are life time and a unique experience at Thikhedunga and Sabeth villages. On the second day, we tend to hike up passing Ulleri village It may be a bit difficult to hike up that aforementioned to have 3300 stone steps however there are plenty of teashops in every thirty-minute walk so we can stop for rest, taking photos, and can even stop for drinks. 

On the third or fourth day of the Poon Hill trek counting on your itinerary, we will stay at Ghandruk which is one the place of interest in this trek. We walked around the stunning Gurung village visiting the Gurung culture center, and ACAP visitor’s center, and enjoyed the breathtaking Annapurna from the gorgeous village of Ghandruk. Not only this but also you will love staying in Pokhara too. Pokhara itself is a blessed town with natural beauty offering the view of the Annapurna Himalayan range even from your hotel rooftop; one can enjoy the reflection of the mountain in Phewa Lake while boating. Hiking to the Peace temple may be a nice expertise and see the attractive Pokhara and Annapurna target backdrop.

    I have researched and booked the trek online via their website.Once I booked,Pradip contacted and emailed me all the details directly.Everything is arranged well and efficiently.The price is also very reasonable and worthwhile as it includes almost everything such as meals.My guide Garap Sangpo Lama is very nice and helpful. He is very experienced and during the trek I have learned a lot about the Nepal culture and people from him.I highly recommended him to anyone who is interested to do Poonhill or Annapurna Base Camp trek!:)

    I contacted Wilderness Excursion for my trek to Ghorepani Poon Hill before arriving in Nepal and it was Pradip; he prepared the trek I needed. He answered all my questions so quickly and kindly. During the trekking days, Pradip took care of me, choosing good lodges, paying attention to meals, chatting with me and respecting my silents when necessary.Pradip is a great professional and a very kind person. I really enjoyed my trekking and absolutely recomend Pradip’s services.
