Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek 7 Days

Upon your arrival, a representative from Manaslu Adventure Treks will warmly welcome you at the airport with a flower garland and ensure a smooth transfer to your designated hotel in the city. Once you check in and settle, the representative will provide a detailed program briefing, including an overview of your upcoming trip. Also, any necessary documentation will be reviewed and finalized to ensure everything is in order.

If time permits, you can explore the local area on a short walk. This will allow you to acclimatize to the environment and enjoy the surroundings. The day concludes with a special welcome dinner hosted at a local restaurant, where you can enjoy authentic Nepalese cuisine and get acquainted with fellow travelers and the Manaslu Adventure Treks team.

After breakfast in Pokhara, it’s a relatively short drive to Nayapul, the start of your trek, via car or van. Today, you cross small streams and a river through many small villages while hiking to Ulleri. There is a checkpoint at the Annapurna Conservation Area Project, which checks all the necessary permits for hiking.

After breakfast, you begin today’s walk, which is a bit hard, uphill from Ulleri village, where you can observe a little peak of the Snowy Mountain for the first time. Above Ulleri and coming out of the forest, the trail becomes gentler, crossing pastures and fields. Crossing Banthanti village, you head to Ghorepani, where you spend the night. You can see several mountains, including Annapurna I (8,091m) and Dhaulagiri (8,167m).

You will get up early in the morning today and go hiking to Poon Hill for about an hour. As it is the best viewpoint in this region, you can see fantastic views of sunrise, and panoramic views of the Himalayas, including Mt. Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, Fishtail, and others. Then, you will return to Ghorepani, have breakfast, and continue walking to Deurali (3090m). Upon reaching Deurali, you will get a stunning snow-capped mountain in your background.

Departing from Deurali, the trail descends through mountain terrain, showcasing the beauty of nature and cultural exploration of the region. The Trek from Deurali to Banthanti is lovely, taking you to beautiful mountain views, enchanting forests, and cultural encounters. Leaving the beauty of Banthanti, you’ll make your way towards the Tadapani. To reach Tadapani, you’ll walk through a beautiful part of the Annapurna region. As you pass through green forests, the sound of birds will make your trek more attractive and memorable. Stay overnight at Tadapani.

It takes about 3 to 4 hours by foot to cross the flat and downhill trail to Ghandruk from Tadapani. The trek goes through dense forest and Bhaisi Kharka to reach Ghandruk. The low-altitude Tadapani to Ghandruk trek will give you uninterrupted views of the Annapurna range, and fascinating Gurung community villages surrounded by mystic clouds. Stay overnight in Ghandruk and get a glimpse of the traditional lifestyle of the Gurung community.

Enjoy the final breakfast of the trek before hiking through villages to reach Nayapul, where you can take a car or jeep back to Pokhara. At night, you can enjoy the glittering lights of the bars and restaurants in Pokhara and have a final gaze of Phewa Lake and the Annapurna Mountain Range. Stay overnight in Pokhara.

After breakfast, transfer to Pokhara airport to fly back to Kathmandu. After landing in Kathmandu, you will be transferred to your hotel. Arriving in Kathmandu may feel like a cultural shift after spending days in the mountains. The remaining part of the day is free in Kathmandu allowing you to relax, explore the city, or do some last-minute shopping.  The day concludes with a farewell dinner at a local Nepali restaurant and travel arrangements to your destination.

On the final day of your journey, a special Trip Conclude Ceremony will be organized by Manaslu Adventure treks. During this heartfelt event, the team will express gratitude for your participation and acknowledge the memorable experiences shared throughout the adventure. Also, the clients are free to provide feedback, which is valuable for the team to understand your experience and gather insights to improve future trips. As a token of appreciation, a souvenir will be presented to you, symbolizing the lasting memories of your adventure and deep connection to Nepal’s culture and natural beauty.

The day concludes with a final goodbye and transfer arrangements to your onward destination, whether to the airport or your next journey within Nepal. The team will ensure your departure is smooth and filled with warm wishes for future travels.
