Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking Info, Guide, Cost and Itinerary

Are you planning for a short trek in Annapurna? Are you looking for an experienced guide and company? Here we are to organize Annapurna Short Trekking in your own way. We operate the trek that does not only give you a unique experience in the Himalayas, but also a wonderful lifetime experience.

Poon Hill Trek duration depends on your interest and time. It can be from 3 to 5 days. Minimum 4 days is what we recommend. From Nayapul, it leads you through the beautiful landscape, beside the beautiful Bhurungdi Khola (stream). Via Hille, it leads you to Tikhedhunga and there lies a big staircase of Ulleri. You will nearly hit your nose and fall your hat when you look upstairs.

The second day, you have your lunch at Banthanti and the trek goes through the shadow of rhododendron forest. Almost no sky. It is just a hide and seek with the clouds. Hiking through the woods, you will reach to the Ghorepani, a place surrounded by the woods. It is a base of the Poon Hill.

Sunset view from Poon Hill

The next day, you will get up early in the morning, probably beginning the trek at 4.30 am. Poon Hill hike from Ghorepani takes about 40 minutes, straight uphill. The beautiful viewpoint offers you the spell bounding Himalayan sceneries of Annapurna range, Fishtail, Himchuli, Dhaulagiri range and many more.

Sunrise tour to Poon Hill

Have you seen a crocodile in Poon Hill? If not, then have a look.

Having breakfast at Ghorepani, begin to climb gradually to Thabla Pass, which is almost similar height to Poon Hill. The beautiful meadow, Himalayan scenery and the surroundings offer you an incredible memory. The up and down walk takes you to Tadapani after a lunch at Banthanti.
