Overview

The Ghorepani Poonhill trek is for those with a short time to experience the beauty of the Himalayas. This is the most visited trekking destination in Nepal. The trekking trail runs through the scattered Gurung settlements along the Modi River to Tikhedhunga. From there you will trek up to Ghorepani via Ullerri through beautiful Rhododendron and Oak forest. After getting Ghorepani you will go on an early morning hike to Poonhill (3210m). It offers stunning views of the Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Tukuche, Varaha Shikhar, and Lamjung Himal. After then you will continue trekking to Tadapani and Ghandruk village enjoying dramatic mountain views. During the trek, your guide will tell you interesting details about the region. You will get to enjoy the warm Nepalese hospitality and make lifetime memories on the Ghorepani Poonhill trek.

Absolutely wonderful

Absolutely wonderful. I feel very lucky to have caught a sight and a breath of this very special place on the planet - it is something I will surely never forget. It wouldn’t have been possible without Bimal and his team, and for that I would like to say thank you. From the busy streets of Kathmandu to the solemn tip of Poonhill, they were calm and composed, warm-hearted guides, and in the end, not only guides but friends. Thank you very much.

Fantastisch

Fantastisch! Die Schoenheit dieser Berge und dieses Treks im Besonderen ist schwer in Worte zu fassen ... wer einmal in den Himalayas gewesen ist, wird das nie wieder vergessen koennen. Die Natur ist das eine; das andere ist der ebenfalls schwierig in Worte zu fassende Service, den uns unsere Fuehrer boten. Vom chaotischen Kathmandu bis zum Sonnenaufgang auf dem wunderbar friedlichen Poonhill - die Sicherheit, Gelassenheit und Warmherzigkeit Bimals und seiner Truppe machte alles moeglich. Wir sind Freunde geworden werden ihnen immer dankbar. Dieser Trek ist nur sehr zu empfehlen!
