Tour overview

Discover why this is the most popular trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal. The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is a photographer’s dreams come true from Poon Hill (3210m) where there are some of the most stunning views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. You can see many towering snow-covered peaks, such as Annapurna South (7219m), Machapuchare (6993m), Hiunchuli, Annapurna III, Dhampus peak and Dhulariri II. You will also enjoy the experience of Gurung and Magar village life and feel the authentic warmth of the locals while passing through Ulleri, Ghorepani, and Ghandruk.

This trek takes you through lush green forests alive with beautiful white, pink and red rhododendrons that make you constantly grab for your camera. This trek is ideally suited for families whose goal is to witness first-hand the magnificent views without having to go through the acclimatization process necessary when trekking to higher elevations.

The trail heads through the Modi Khola Valley before arriving at Tikhedhunga. After crossing a suspension bridge over the Modi Khola we start to climb the 3300 steps to Ulleri hill and pass through a rhododendron forest before coming to the Magar Village of Ghorepani (2855m). If you want to capture the dawn views at Poon Hill and watch the sunrise on the Annapurna Ranges you will have to be up before daybreak. Watching the gradual rise of the sun shining off the mountains will leave you stunned and rewarded for your effort of getting up early. There are magnificent 180 degree views of of Dhaulagiri (8167m), Tukuche (6920m), Dhampus, Nilgiri (2637m), Annapurna South (8091), Bhara, Sikhar and Machapuchare (Fishtail - 6993m). On the return to Pokhara we pass through the gorgeous Gurung village of Ghandruk with its traditional style of houses with stone roofs - and an amazing mountain backdrop. This is an all-season trek.

Sherpa Expedition and Trekking also offers a condensed 4 day version of this trek, as well as others in the Annapurna region. We can also customize a trek just for you depending on your schedule. We will take care of all the paperwork, meals and accommodation on this trek. We have over 40 years experience in this industry and have an excellent reputation among our clients.
