trip Overview

Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is one of the most famous and easy treks in the Annapurna region. This trek is suitable for all ages and is particularly good for families with children. It leads to wonderful historic ethnic villages and the best mountain scenario. Poon Hill (3210m) is the ultimate viewpoint for the Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri range, Lamjung Himal, and for the best sunrise views. This trek also includes hiking through colorful villages and rhododendron forests.

Ghorepani Poon Hill trek starts from Pokhara towards Nayapool in the early morning. We will continue our trek to Ghorepani via Tikhedhunga through flowering rhododendron forests watching hundreds of species of birds. In this area, several charming villages are having the majority of Gurung and Magar ethnic groups. Furthermore, you can visit the Gurung museum and get warm hospitality from the locals. Then, the trail leads to Landruk via Tadapani and Ghandruk with great views of the mountains. These beautiful treks can be done throughout the year but monsoon is not highly recommended. Before coming back to Kathmandu we can go sightseeing in the beautiful city of Pokhara.

Morning sun rise and wonderful mountain view from poon hill

2022

Dp, Guide, and his team were very helpful in our Ghorepani poon hill trek last April. The trekking team made our trip mesmerizing, memorable, and full of utilization and had a great time. I had some problems with health and rainfall but DP and his team quickly made my health condition good and motivate me to complete the trek over the poon hill trek. Due to very good hospitality, affordable price and friendly behavior. I would highly recommend it to anyone for Nepal’s dream path treks or trekking around all of Nepal.

Ghorepani Poonhill Trek in Janauary 2019

2019

At the beginning of 2019, we took 7 days hike in the Annapurna mountain range in Nepal i.e. the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek. This is an easy trek so we didn’t prepare a lot and we were a success to complete this trek.  I have a small pain while going downstairs from Khandruk to Nayapul. Luckily Nepal Dream Path Treks Guide has got first aid box for the home treatment. overall we love this trek and highly recommend Nepal Dream Path to my friends.
