About Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking

The trails in the Ghorepani Poon hill trek are one of the most mesmerizing in nature and run around the Annapurna Region boasting unparalleled beauty. The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek has often been the go-to journey for trekkers around the world to witness the stunning beauty of the entire Annapurna region because of which it is often referred to as Mini Annapurna Circuit Trek. As the entire Annapurna Range stretches from one end to the other accommodating sky-high peaks in Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Lamjung Himal (6,983m), Machhapuchhre (6,997m) and numerous others in Annapurna range, the mountain panorama as seen along the Poonhill trek is mesmerizingly captivating.

The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek begins from Pokhara often known as The City of Lakes as a testament to the natural beauty the region hoards. But the real trailhead of this short Annapurna Trek lies at Nayapul just beyond Modi Khola. From here, we head to Tikhedhunga for our first night on the go. The journey beyond Tikhedhunga stretches alongside rivers and stunning landscapes reaching Ghorepani from where the following morning we begin our scenic climb to Poon Hill in time to witness the Himalayan sunrise. The stunning Himalayan vistas of the Annapurna region gradually turning golden with the morning sun is a sight that needs to be experienced and can never be captured in words. The journey ends at Pokhara descending through the scenic hamlets of Tadapani and Syauli Bazaar. The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek also offers a perfect chance to witness the authentic cultures and ancient way of life of the locals. A perfect journey this, the Poonhill trek is for everyone and especially if you are low on time, the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is simply not the one you would want to miss.

Frolic Adventure Treks has been a part of the Nepalese travel scene for quite a while. Safety and quality precede everything else and we will make sure your Himalayan adventure is one to remember. We offer local guides with English fluency to lead the trek so that the journey can relish the most authentic of ambience.

A Lifetime Experience

In October 2016, I went on my first trek ever with Frolic Adventure! My trekking team from Frolic Adv. was Rajesh and Jaya and we completed a 5 day Poon Hill trip. The support and encouragement that we received from these two were exactly what we needed to complete the climb! They took care of everything for us-- good transportation, clean and welcoming accommodations, delicious Nepali food, lots of information about the culture and the trek! When I return to Nepal, it will definitely be with these guys!

Recommended Trekking company in Nepal

Raj and the team made our Poon Hill trip very special. His local knowledge made such a difference and we learnt so much about Nepal. Poon Hill is a perfect excursion for the more "mature" traveller who wants a do-able but challenging and totally rewarding adventure or for someone with limited time in the country. I'll never forget the spectacular rhododendron forests, the spontaneous round of applause as we watched the sunrise over Annapurna ... or all those stone steps!! If you're thinking about a trip to Nepal .... Do it .. but be prepared to be blown away by the madness or Kathmandu, the beauty of the countryside and the kindness of the people.
