Overview

A short and easy trek of just 4 to 5 days Poon Hill trek is something everyone should try once. The evergreen trekking course leads you to the marvelous historic ethnic village and superlative mountain scenario. Something that makes this trek so attractive is the possibility that it gives to the trekkers, we can experience the magical mountains peering at us and we get to see all that from “Poon Hill” located at an altitude of 3210m, the most impressive Mountain View spot in Nepal.

Our trek starts from Nayapul. From Nayapul we start our trail through beautiful rice, maize, and millet farms of locals.  The main trail leads to Birethanti after which we reach Sudami. The next stop is Hile which eventually leads us to Tikhedhunga. Climbing through the blooming rhododendron forests and the old oak trees, we aim for Ulleri that is at the height of 2,070m /6,791 ft. A final push to reach Nangethanti, and a few more hours of huffing and puffing will bring us to Ghorepani.

You may have often heard people saying that after you die, you see the heavenly light, but you won’t have to go such lengths as dying to see that heavenly light. The next morning at the Poon Hill (3,210m / 10,531 ft), as the sun peeks out from the majestic mountains, you will see the light. You will see the rays from heaven shine right at you. Mountains like Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, Machhapuchhare/Fishtail, Annapurna I, and many more, will shine along with the morning sun. This journey then takes us to the absolutely beautiful and stunning village of Ghandruk, where we get to experience the hospitality of the local Gurung people as well as the tradition of Gurung people inclosing museums, monasteries, cultural programs, and the magnificent view of Annapurna Himalayan Range. Walking downhill from Ghandruk, we will then reach Syaulibazar after 2 hours. Out trek finally comes to an end after we reach Nayapul, from where we drive back to Pokhara. This whole trip will always remain in the most sacred part of your heart, you will always cherish these memories and you will want to make more of them. Happy Trekking!

Best Time for Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek


Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is the forever trek, you can do this trek any time of the year. But Spring (March, April, May) and Autumn (September, October, November) are the best months. The air, freshly washed by the monsoon rain, is crystal clear, stunning mountain scenery, and the weather is still comfortably warm. Although Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek can be taken during winter and monsoon too, but the cold can be bitter around the Poon Hill area. And the trails can be slippery due to the monsoon rain, Nepal’s famous Juka (leeches) are an un-pleasant feature of the wet season, but with care, trekking can still be possible and there are certainly fewer trekkers on the trail.

Reviews

I really enjoyed Rajan's company on this trek! Overall he is a hilarious guy and an expert guide. He expertly lead the way through the Mountains. We stayed at the best tea houses and ate very well. Rajan arranged the schedule efficiently and even made time for me to go rafting which was a highlight. We went on the Ghorepani- Poonhill Trek. Rajan has known the best way around the mountain, we were able to stick to quieter parts of the trail to dodge big groups. I had an amazing time!! Thank you Rajan!

I fulfilled one of my dreams of seeing the Himalayan mountains, and the view from Poon Hill is totally breathtaking! Every day was interesting, the views of nature changed every hour, and you will see dark forests, limitless hills, waterfalls, etc. I highly recommend hiking with Namaste Nepal Trekking. I went with Rajan - he's a great guy, he will help you with anything hiking-related or even unrelated. You can rely on him 100%. He seems to know everyone in Nepal, will provide you the best places to eat and stay overnight while hiking, help you buy gear, and any other issues while you are in Nepal. and he is also an interesting person to talk to about everything :) The hike is suitable for almost everyone, it is not difficult, I have seen many older people going the same way. Don't expect luxury hotels during the trek, but you will always have a place to sleep, good food, and hot water for showers.

We went trekking with these guys. They are very responsible, and attentive and it is clear that this is sincere. They help along the way. I was surprised that they controlled the preparation of our food, and sometimes they cooked it for us themselves! I absolutely can't eat spicy food and they helped me a lot with this. Thank you very much, guys!

In May 2023, my friend Nadia and I went on an author's journey for the first time, organized with the participation of Namaste Nepal Trekking: we unforgettably spent the May holidays in the amazing and mysterious country of Nepal, saw with our own eyes the highest mountains in the world - the Himalayas! It was a fantastic trip, the tour lasted 15 days, but it seemed to us much longer. Our route passed through fabulously beautiful places in the foothills of Annapurna. I would like to note that our guides and escorts from Namaste Nepal Trekking were just wonderful, attentive and caring. During the trip, we had the best accommodation and food conditions possible in the mountains. Separately, I would like to thank the owner of Namaste Nepal Trekking Rajan, an excellent guide and organizer, who controlled everything, including cooking (and sometimes even cooked for us himself), it was actually a round-the-clock accompaniment. He and his assistants, who helped us with the luggage, carried the bags to the rooms daily and packed them back every day. They also worked as waiters, took pictures, removed leeches from us near waterfalls, translated from Nepali into English and did their best to surround us with care and tenderness). It's been 10 days since I returned home, but I can't forget (and don't want to forget) this like an elven, fabulously beautiful forest of centuries-old rhododendron trees, blooming, tall as if to the sky. Our trekking route was literally covered with their colors. Waterfalls, mountain rivers, fabulous bridges and moss-covered rocks - this is a real paradise. It is absolutely unbelievable that there are such protected places on our planet where Nature is the most virtuoso artist, architect and director. And to top it off, you're the main actor in this movie. And the magical sunrise with a view of 4 eight-thousanders was simply unforgettable. And these incredible emotions cover all the physical activities and everyday difficulties of hiking in the mountains. Guys, Rajan, thank you so much for our incredible trip!
