Trip Overview

Starting and ending in Pokhara, the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek offers a rich blend of natural beauty and cultural charm. In spring, the trails come alive with colorful blossoms, while winter coats the landscape in snow, turning it into a magical alpine setting.

This trek takes you deep into the heart of the Annapurna region, balancing serene valleys with steady ascents that reward you at every step. Picture walking through peaceful valleys dotted with terraced farmland, thick forests draped in moss, and lively rhododendron trees bursting with color.

Springtime brings these rhododendron forests to life- creating a tunnel of bright pinks, reds, and whites above your trail. As you climb higher, snow-covered Himalayan peaks begin to appear more frequently, hinting at the incredible views that lie ahead.
The highlight of the journey is reaching Poon Hill, where you’re greeted with wide, sweeping views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. Watching the sun rise over the mountains is a moment that leaves a lasting impression, with golden light dancing across the peaks.

Ideal for trekkers who want a shorter yet fulfilling Himalayan experience, this route can be completed within a week. Along the way, you’ll pass through traditional Gurung and Magar villages, cross clear rivers, and walk through quiet valleys.

The trail involves a mix of ups and downs, but it’s considered relatively easy- perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a scenic and enjoyable adventure in Nepal’s mountains.

This helps accommodate any changes in domestic flights, especially in the mountains, where weather conditions can be unpredictable.
