The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek has over
the years been the bestseller among all
our trekking tours.The breathtaking
mountain scenery and the beautiful
ethnic villages justify the popularity
of Ghorepani trekking. The trek is easy,
it has enough walking along streams and
forests for those who are looking for a
few days close to nature, yet it is not
far away and involves no high climbing
.You absolutely have no risk of altitude
sickness on this trek. Ghorepani
trekking can be done all through the
year except during the monsoon.
The Ghorepani Poon hill trek is an
immensely popular short trek to the
Annapurnas. The trek starts from the
beautiful Modi Khola river, after an
hour of drive from Pokhara.Crossing the
suspension bridge over Modhi Khola
river, we ascend through ethnic villages
and farm terraces enjoying the views of
Machhapuchare peeking between the hills
. On the second day we walk mostly
through woods before we reach Ghorepani
hill .Next morning we make an early
climb of one hour to the nearby Poon
hill for the spectacular view of the
Dhaulagiri, Annapurna , Nilgiri and
other famous mountains of the region.
The whole of Ghorepani is densely
forested with rhododendron, the national
flower of Nepal. Every spring it is
tremendous scenery to watch these
forests in bloom with the panorama of
the high mountains on the skyline.
From Ghorepani we descend for the
beautiful Gurung (name of a community)
village of Ghandruk on the lap of the
Annapurnas. The village is known for its
traditional houses, rich culture and the
great landscape. Walking down through
the innumerable steps we make a loop at
Birethanti and catch our vehicle for
Pokhara at Nayapul .We trace back no
part of the trail on this itinerary. On
our whole trek, we use the mountain
lodges called the tea houses for our
food and accommodation.
The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek combined
with a two days of elephant back safari
in the tropical Chitwan national park (5
hr of drive from Pokhara) makes an ideal
Nepal holiday. You see a great number of
wild animals and birds including rhinos,
crocodiles, deers, peacocks, leopards
and if lucky even a tiger. You will
enjoy a canoe ride in Rapti river, visit
baby elephants in elephant breeding
centre and the safari trip will conclude
with a bird watching tour – Chitwan
national park alone has 450 species of
birds! Back at Kathamndu we celebrate
our Ghorepani hiking with a traditional
Nepali dinner followed by ethnic
cultural show.
