After a 1.5-hour drive from Pokhara, we will reach Nayapul which is the starting point of our journey after checking and taking the necessary permits then our trek begins. Our staying point is Ulleri so the hike will be about 4-5 hours on the day. During the day we will witness rivers, diverse ethnic groups, unique cultures, traditions, and so on. After reaching Ulleri Village (2070m) we will stay overnight there and make ourselves refreshed and excited for the next hiking day.

    On this second day will feel the Himalayan vibe as we will see elegant views and the mountains over there. After having breakfast our journey will continue from there. Gaining elevation and inhaling the fresh Himalayan air; will give us more energy and interest during the hike. We will cross the Banthati village which is famous for Magar culture, tradition, and their unique way of living. On this day, we will cross the beautiful Rhododendron forests and paddy fields, and again we will reach another beautiful village called Nangethanti. On this day too, we will hike for about 4-5 hours and our stay on this day will be at Ghorepani.

      This day will be the most exciting and memorable because you will wake up around 4:30 A M and start your hike about 1.5 hr to the Poonhill Peak (3210M) to experience the best sunrise view and captivate the eye-catching panoramic view of the surrounding big mountains in front of you. Also, the aroma of blooming rhododendron forest will surely trap your mind. After spending some time clicking photos and enjoying the moment we will return to Ghorepani where we had stayed last night and after having breakfast and backpacking we will move to another beautiful destination- Ghandruk. On the way to Ghandruk, we will cross many scenic places, forests, waterfalls, beautiful Tadapani village, and so on.

Taking a few hours to roam at this alluring place and stepping downward to Birethanti crossing several suspension bridges while keeping all those lifetime memories is such a big thing. After taking lunch at Birethanti we will again head up to Nayapul and after catching our vehicle we will directly move towards Pokhara. That’s how our 4-day Ghorepani poonhill trek ends at Pokhara.

Sipping a cup of sweet tea and warming the body with fire heat in the cold weather is another level of satisfaction that you can get inside the tea houses.

          We often recommend typical Nepali dal bhat for trekkers, a famous Nepali dish including lentil soup, rice, pickles, and various side dishes, and also the dishes according to the preferences and cravings. In Nepali, we say Daal Bhaat power, 24 hours which means Daal Bhaat gives a higher energy than other dishes which will strongly aid during your hike.

            I went to the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek with my boyfriend. A great experience with the Team of Mount Glory Treks. During online research, I found this company and I booked through it but worth it for the whole trip. We also did kathmandu sightseeing with the same company at a very reasonable cost. We have very limited time for Nepal and we want to hike a few days only the reason we plan Poon Hill Trek very last minute. Best trekking experience with experienced guide Subash and the whole trekking view was nic and magnificent. We highly recommend who wants to do trekking or sightseeing in Nepal this company is the perfect one based on Reviews, cost, and service. Thank you and we refer for a few friends in the coming season.
