Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

A Himalayan monk representative will pick you up at the Tribhuwan International airport in Kathmandu and transfer you to a hotel on B/B basis. After some refreshment in the hotel, you can visit our office to discuss our tour and trekking, the required items and equipment. We also have an opening welcome dinner to further inquire about the trip.

We drive early from Kathmandu to Pokhara which takes about 6 hours. We have lunch in the afternoon and from Pokhara, we drive for an hour to reach Nayapul, a bridge over fresh river water and then we start the trek till Tikedhunga. The village is colorful with stone houses and surrounded by greenery and river.  You can explore the village in the evening and have a traditional meal for dinner. We stay the night at a guest house in Tikedhunga.

From Tikedhunga trek through the stone path that, people and animals both use to travel through villages. We cross bridges over the smaller streams, pass waterfalls and take more stone steps to Ghorepani.  You might encounter domesticated horses and mules passing by the forest trails. Ghorepani is a really a cool village at the ridge of the mountain. The village has a rustic feeling to it but more lively as you stay longer. You can have a heart-full meal after the steep uphill climb and rest in a tea house.

After breakfast, we immediately set to the long trek route to Ghandruk via Poon Hill situated at 3210m high altitude. We walk gradually to the top as it is still dark and we need to breathe deeply as morning air gets thinner as we ascend the hilltop, but the strive to the top is worth it as we witness a breathtaking view of the sunrise on the horizon over the mountains creating excellent hues across the sky.

we descend and again ascend a steep climb through rhododendron forests, beaten tracks and plains of the mountains and finally descend again to reach Tadapani. Tadapani has some amazing panoramic view of mountains and landscape. Shortly after lunch, after descending about 3 hours through the forest trail, you reach Ghandruk, a true scenic village. You stay at the local hotel to rest after a tiring day.

We enjoy the view of the Machhapuchhare peak, peeking over the mountains early morning. After breakfast, we descend for 3-4 hours, enjoying more scenic views and finally reach Nayapul. We have completed our trek at this point and then we drive back to Pokhara. In the evening, you can take a stroll around the Lakeside of Pokhara to explore the markets and streets with extravagant cafes and restaurants.

You stay at the hotel for the night on B/B basis in Pokhara. 

We return to Kathmandu by bus, through the highway with scenic views of the mountains, rivers and terraced rice fields on the winding highway. In the evening after you reach Kathmandu, you can walk around Thamel to buy some souvenirs or just stroll around for sightseeing. You stay the night at a hotel on B/B basis.
