Our 11 days Ghorepani poon hill Trekking which is one of our special trek packages that takes you to the foothills of famous Annapurna amidst the rugged hills of Ghandruk. If it’s your first time in the Himalayas, then begin your ‘Great Himalayan Escape’ with The Ghorepani Poon hill Scenic Trek. This is a spectacular retreat that matches the amazing beauty of nature with a taste of the unique local culture that makes your journey so wholesome.
The warmth of the local folks with the lovely landscapes that can be viewed from Poon Hill, a colorful small village that also doubles up as a box office viewpoint-based inside the Annapurna Conservation Area at the height of 3,210m; is something more than what you bargained for. The great views of fishtail [Machhapuchre] peak & the Modikhola River is a treat to enjoy. Close by, there are well-marked trails to hike around, breathtaking mountains to gaze at, fishes to catch & lovely rare birds to spot; this is actually what you experience on this trip. Gorgeous rhododendrons & stunning sunrise & sunsets are also a welcome bonus you relish on this trip. It’s awesome wherever you go.
The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek can be done throughout the year. But it’s not wise to do it in the Monsoons (July to August). The trip begins from Nayapul by crossing the airy suspension bridge over Modi Khola (river) after one hour cruise from Pokhara. And then the trail leads up north of the Valley of Mardi River until Birethanti. Birethanti is a junction point that leads to the Annapurna Base Camp and Ghorepani poon hill trek.
The trail then leaves the valley by going up Bhurung Khola/stream. We then reach the wonderful village of Ghandruk inhabited by Gurung, Magar and Thakali communities. The Gurungs are also well-known Gurkha soldiers serving in several armies throughout the world. The Gurung culture museum at Ghandruk is a key attraction in the village. This trek presents chances for a lifetime experience of Nepal’s rural culture. This is an outing of great experiences you will remember for one long, long time.
This 11-day trip is designed for those travelers who have the desire to walk in beautiful countrysides with beautiful mountain views along with their family on a short holiday. If the trekkers looking for a more rough and tough demanding trek in the Annapurna region then please do visit our Annapurna circuit trek, Annapurna Base Camp trek.

My husband and I traveled to Nepal in December 2021 for 9 days, during this time we completed the breathtaking 5-day Ghorepani-Poon Hill Trek via the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. Ram Gurung, our local guide, was the sweetest and ended up becoming a travel companion. Without the support of this company and our guide Ram, Nepal would not have been the same thanks to his generosity, friendliness, thorough understanding of his nation and its culture, and, of course, his exceptional leadership abilities in the mountains. He is incredibly forgiving and paid attention to even the smallest things. Ram made sure that all of our meals were delicious during the vacation because we are both vegans.
We are eager to return to Nepal, and there is no way that we could travel there without Glorious Himalaya company.
