Ghorepani Poonhill Short Trekking is one of the shortest treks in the Annapurnas. It is the best way for those with limited time to experience the breathtaking mountain scenery and charming village culture of the Annapurna Region. The trek begins an hour's drive from Pokhara at Nayapul (New Bridge), where you cross a suspension bridge over the rushing Modi Khola. As we ascend the winding stone path through villages and terraced farmland, we catch glimpses of the magnificent Machhapuchre Mountain (Fishtail).
The sunrise from Poonhill, 3210m, a one-hour climb from Ghorepani, 2855m, is one of the trek's major highlights. The first rays of the sun striking the peaks of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Nilgiri, and other famous Annapurna range mountains reflect in shades of red, orange, and pink; a truly magnificent sight. We descend from Ghorepani to the beautiful hillside village of Ghandruk, 2012m, a typical Gurung ethnic group village known for its traditional houses, rich culture, and spectacular scenery. We will descend from Ghandruk via Birethanti to Nayapul, where our vehicle will be waiting to transport us to Pokhara.
Except during the monsoon season, the Ghorepani Poonhill Trekking can be done at any time of year. The entire Ghorepani region is densely forested with rhododendron, Nepal's national flower.In the spring, these forests transform into a magnificent blanket of red blossoms, with the Annapurna range providing a backdrop of white snow. Contact us to learn more about the trip, itinerary, departure times, and private or group departures.
Spring (March to May) and autumn (late September to late November) are the most popular seasons, but some people prefer winter (December to February), when they can enjoy the beauty of the snow and the environment of the remote areas.
