Overview

Ghorepani Poon Hill trekking is a renowned trekking route in Nepal, celebrated for both its teahouse accommodations and organized treks. This trek offers an excellent opportunity to experience the stunning beauty of the Annapurna region within a shorter duration. Rich in Nepalese culture and tradition, the area is a hidden treasure waiting to be explored.

The trail meanders through the charming villages of the Gurung and Magar communities, renowned for their heritage as the ‘Gorkha warriors.’ Trekkers will journey through dense rhododendron forests, home to Nepal’s national flower, and oak forests teeming with birdlife. The green hills and patchwork valleys provide a picturesque backdrop to the trek, with tantalizing glimpses of Mt. Fishtail (6,993m), Annapurna (8,091m), and the Dhaulagiri range (8,167m) adding to the breathtaking scenery.

A highlight of the trek is the excursion to Poon Hill, where one can witness the entire mountain range bathed in the red and pink rays of the sun during sunrise and sunset. This rewarding trek is perfect for nature enthusiasts, offering spectacular views and enriching cultural experiences in the heart of the Himalayas.
