You don’t need any special skills or previous trekking experience to enjoy it, plus the highest point of the trek is just 3,210 meters, which is not that high compared to other trekking routes in the Annapura region.

Our 6-day Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek starts in Kathmandu, where you spend the first two nights. On the third day, you travel to Pokhara, a lively city known for its beautiful Lakeside area. The trek begins on the fourth day, as you head to the starting point and hike to Tikhedhunga.

The next day, a 6-hour walk takes you to Ghorepani. From here, you will wake up early to hike to Poon Hill, where you can watch an unforgettable sunrise over mountains like Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Fishtail, and more.

After visiting Poon Hill, the trek continues to Tadapani and then to Ghandruk, a well-known Gurung village. You will spend the night in Ghandruk before hiking back to Pokhara on the eighth day. The trip ends with a return to Kathmandu on day nine, and day ten is for departure.

Why is the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek so famous?

The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is one of Nepal's most popular adventures because it is easy to reach, full of natural beauty, and rich in culture. It has become a favorite among trekkers from all over the world for many good reasons. Here are nine key points that explain why the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is so well-known:

Breathtaking Sunrise Views

The main highlight of the trek is the mesmerising sunrise from Poon Hill. At 3,210 meters, this viewpoint offers a panoramic view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. As the first rays of sunlight touch the snow-capped peaks, they glow in shades of gold and orange, creating a magical moment that leaves the trekkers amazed forever.

Beginner-Friendly Trek

The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is a moderate trek, making it suitable for people with basic fitness levels. It is especially popular among student groups, both nationally and internationally. With no steep climbs or high-altitude challenges, it is an ideal choice for beginners and first-time trekkers.

Rich Cultural Experience

This trek offers the chance to experience the warm hospitality and traditions of the Gurung and Magar communities. Villages like Ghandruk and Tadapani offer insights into local lifestyles, traditional architecture, and cultural practices. You can interact with locals, enjoy authentic Nepali cuisine, and witness vibrant festivals if you visit during the right time.

Stunning Landscapes

The trek takes you through diverse and beautiful landscapes. You will walk through lush rhododendron forests that bloom with vibrant colors in spring, cross terraced farmlands, and follow trails alongside flowing rivers. The changing scenery at every step keeps the journey visually captivating and deeply rewarding.

Short Duration

Unlike longer treks in Nepal, the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek can be completed in just 5 to 6 days of walking. Including travel days to and from Kathmandu, the entire trip usually takes about 8 to 10 days, making it an excellent choice for travelers with limited time who still want a complete Himalayan trekking experience.

Low Altitude

The highest point of the trek is 3,210 meters, making it a relatively low-altitude trek compared to others in the Annapurna region. This minimizes the risk of altitude sickness, allowing trekkers to fully enjoy the experience without the need for extensive acclimatization.

Convenient Access

The trek is easy to reach, starting from Pokhara, Nepal’s adventure hub. Pokhara is a short flight or scenic drive from Kathmandu. From there, the trailhead is just a few hours away. The trails are well-maintained and clearly marked, making navigation easy, even for solo or first-time trekkers.

Year-Round Trek

The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is a year-round destination. Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the best seasons for clear skies and pleasant weather. Winter brings quieter trails and snow-covered landscapes, while the monsoon season adds lush greenery and fewer crowds, though trails can be slippery.

Perfect for Photography

This trek is perfect for photography enthusiasts, offering countless opportunities to capture the stunning beauty of the Himalayas. From golden sunrises over the peaks to vibrant rhododendron blooms and traditional mountain villages, every part of the journey is picture-perfect.

You will visit Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath, Boudhanath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. Each site has its own atmosphere, with temples, courtyards, old palaces, and local rituals happening throughout the day.

There are tea stops along the way, and you can enjoy simple Nepali snacks during the journey. The road becomes wider and calmer as you get closer to Pokhara. Once you arrive, the change in atmosphere is noticeable. Pokhara feels open, fresh, and relaxed, with views of lakes and distant mountains.

After checking into your hotel, you have time to explore. You can stroll around Lakeside, try local cafés, or take a quiet walk along the shore of Phewa Lake. Pokhara is also a good place to enjoy mountain views before the trek begins.

After breakfast, you leave Pokhara and take a short drive toward Nayapul. The road passes through small settlements and terraced farmlands, giving you a gentle start to your trekking day. The drive usually takes about one and a half hours.

Once you reach Nayapul, your walking journey begins. The first part of the trail follows a wide dirt road where you pass local shops, small tea houses, and friendly villagers going about their daily routine. After some time, the path becomes narrower and the surroundings turn quieter, with the sound of the river beside you.

The walk to Tikhedhunga is easy for most trekkers. You follow a steady trail through rice fields and small villages, stopping for lunch along the way. By late afternoon, you reach Tikhedhunga, a peaceful riverside village with a few cozy lodges. The sound of the waterfall nearby gives the place a calm and refreshing feel.

From Ulleri, the trail continues through peaceful forests filled with oak and rhododendron trees. This part of the walk is very pleasant, especially in spring when the rhododendrons bloom and the entire forest turns colorful. You stop for lunch in Banthanti or Nangethati, depending on the pace of the group.

After lunch, the last part of the walk continues through shaded forest trails until you reach Ghorepani. This beautiful village sits on a ridge and offers wide mountain views. From different corners of the village, you can see the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges standing tall above the hills.

You start the day early, before sunrise, with a short uphill walk toward Poon Hill. The trail is steady and easy to follow, and you will see small groups of trekkers moving up quietly with the same purpose. When you reach the top, the viewpoint opens into a wide 360-degree panorama. As the first light touches the peaks of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre, the whole horizon becomes bright and golden. It is one of the most memorable highlights of this trek.

After spending some time enjoying the views and taking photos, you return to Ghorepani for breakfast. The trail then continues toward Deurali. This part of the walk is peaceful, passing through forests and small clearings with occasional mountain views. If you are trekking in spring, the rhododendron blossoms make the whole route feel colorful and lively.

You stop for lunch at Banthanti. After lunch, the trail slowly descends toward the village of Tadapani. The forest here is dense and beautiful, with the sound of small streams flowing down the hillside. When you arrive in Tadapani, you are welcomed by a quiet setting and a clear view of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre right in front of the village.

It is a relaxing place to end the day after a rewarding morning at Poon Hill.

Today is a shorter and easier day, giving you more time to enjoy the surroundings. After breakfast, you leave Tadapani and follow a pleasant forest trail that descends slowly through tall trees, moss-covered stones, and small streams. This part of the walk feels quiet and refreshing, especially in the early morning.

As you continue the descent, the forest begins to open and the first rooftops of Ghandruk come into view. The final section of the trail takes you through terraced farmlands and small stone pathways lined with traditional houses.

Ghandruk is one of the most beautiful Gurung villages in the Annapurna region. It has a mix of old stone homes, small museums, monasteries, and viewpoints with excellent mountain scenery. Once you arrive, you can walk around the village, visit the local museum, or simply sit outside your lodge and enjoy the peaceful countryside atmosphere.

You can start your morning in Ghandruk by enjoying the sunrise over Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre. The village is peaceful at this hour, with soft light touching the rooftops and terraced fields. After breakfast, you begin the final walking day of your trek.

The trail from Ghandruk to Nayapul is pleasant and mostly downhill. You follow stone steps and small pathways that pass through traditional houses, rice terraces, and small villages like Kimche and Chane. The walk is relaxed, and you will see local villagers working in the fields or carrying goods along the trail. This path is shared by trekkers heading toward Annapurna Base Camp, so you may meet other hikers along the way.

As you descend lower, the air becomes warmer and the landscape changes from forest to farmland. Soon, you reach Syauli Bazar, where the Modi Khola river flows quietly beside the trail. From here, it is an easy walk to Birethanti and finally to Nayapul, where the trek officially ends.

A vehicle will be waiting for you for the short drive back to Pokhara. Once you arrive, you can check into your hotel, take a shower, and enjoy a comfortable evening around Lakeside.

When you reach Kathmandu, you are transferred to your hotel. You can take the afternoon to relax, explore the nearby markets, or visit Thamel for souvenir shopping. Many trekkers enjoy buying pashmina shawls, handmade crafts, Nepali tea, or small wooden items as reminders of their trip.

In the evening, our team invites you for a simple farewell dinner. It is a nice moment to reflect on the journey and share your experience before your departure.
