The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is one of the most popular trails for those wishing to experience trekking in Nepal. It is the perfect combination of challenging and achievable, and with its mix of traditional villages, beautiful rhododendron forests and panoramic mountain views, it’s easy to see why so many travelers choose this adventure when wanting to enjoy one of our Annapurna treks.
This 5 day Poon Hill trek starts from Nayapul, where you will cross the suspension bridge of Tikhedhunga. The challenge then begins as you climb around 3000 stone stairs, reaching higher and higher into the enthralling presence of the Annapurna peaks. Throughout the climb you will enjoy the picturesque landscape that hosts the Gurung culture. And as you trek through the Gurung village of Ghandruck**,** and visit their traditional museum, you will be treated to breathtaking fishtail and Annapurna south views.
One of the highlights of this trek is the viewpoint of Poon Hill (3210m), which offers you the best sunrise with mountain views. From here you will see panoramic views with the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range, along with Nilgiri, Tukuche peak, Lamjung Himal, Mt. Manaslu (8156m) ranges, Machhapuchhre (6993m) and more. As you take a break from your hike and relax, you will watch the mountains come to life as the sun rises and fills the region with morning light.
If you visit in April, you will walk through the dense rhododendron forests that, along with a wealth of other flora and fauna, make this trip particularly unique and memorable. It is recommended therefore to join us for this trek between the months of March and May, or between September and November.
