Ghodepani Poon Hill Trek

After breakfast, you’ll either take a short domestic flight or embark on a picturesque drive to Pokhara, known for its serene lakes and breathtaking mountain views. Upon reaching Pokhara, you can spend the day enjoying the lakeside ambiance and preparing for the trek ahead.

After a 1.5 to 2-hour drive from Pokhara to Nayapul, the trek officially commences. You’ll follow the winding trails through terraced fields, picturesque villages, and lush forests. The day’s journey leads you to the quaint village of Tikhedhunga.

The trek begins with a challenging climb up a steep stone staircase to Ulleri village. As you ascend, the altitude gradually increases, and you’ll notice a change in the surrounding landscapes. Trekking through dense rhododendron and oak forests, you’ll reach the charming village of Ghorepani.

An early morning ascent to Poon Hill rewards you with a mesmerizing sunrise view over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. At this altitude, the air is crisper, and the panoramic vistas are awe-inspiring. After capturing the sunrise spectacle, you’ll return to Ghorepani for breakfast before proceeding to Tadapani through enchanting forests.

Leaving Tadapani, you’ll continue the trek with occasional ascents and descents, passing through dense forests. Along the way, you’ll have glimpses of the Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) peaks. The day’s journey ends in the charming Gurung village of Ghandruk, where you’ll experience the warmth of the local culture.

The final day of the trek involves descending from Ghandruk to Nayapul. As you head back to Pokhara, you’ll notice a significant drop in altitude. Upon reaching Pokhara, you can relax, reflect on your trekking experience, and enjoy the serene lakeside atmosphere.

Either by flight or a scenic drive, you’ll return to Kathmandu, the vibrant heart of Nepal. Take this opportunity to explore any missed attractions or indulge in some souvenir shopping. An optional farewell dinner can be arranged to celebrate the successful completion of your trek.
