Poon Hill Trek 8 Days

Upon your arrival, our airport representative will greet you at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport. He will drive you in a private car to the hotel. On that day, you will have a planned meeting at the hotel regarding your trip. We will introduce you to your guide/leader at this meeting. Feel free to ask any questions you may have regarding the trip. Moreover, you will spend the night at a Kathmandu hotel.

We will start the trip by bus or a private vehicle from Kathmandu to Pokhara early in the morning, passing along the Trisuli River. It takes around seven or eight hours to go to the Pokhara Valley. We may take boat rides on Pokhara's Phewa Lake and visit several intriguing places, including as Devi's Fall, Guptswor Cave, and Tal Barahi Temple.

Option: The airfare from Kathmandu to Pokhara, which is USD 125 per person, is not included. This can be arranged on request.

We begin our tour from Pokhara with a quick drive to Nayapul/Birethanti amid breathtaking scenery. Following a path that passes through the north bank of the Bhurung Khola and climbs slowly up the valley's side to Hille (1,495m), we travel from Birethanti Village (1,015m) to Tikhedhunga (1,570m). After that, you'll go up a steep set of stone stairs to Ulleri (2,070m), a significant Magar settlement.

Following a filling breakfast, the trek starts at Ulleri and goes towards Ghorepani Poon Hill. Amazing views of the snow peaks, such as the Annapurnas, Machhapuchhare, and Hiunchuli, can be seen from the trail. The trail ascends gently through the grove of rhododendron to Nanghethani (2460m). Walking for an hour will bring you to the day's objective, Ghorepani, a breathtaking town perched on a ridgeline. The Ghorepani slope is covered with woods that are home to eight distinct types of rhododendron, which is the national flower of Nepal.

In order to be at Poon Hill in time to see the magnificent dawn over the Himalayas, you will begin your day early. A stunning view of many mountain ranges, including Dhaulagiri I (8,167 m), Tukuche (6,920 m), Nilgiri (6,940 m), Annapurna South, Annapurna I (8,091 m), Hiunchuli (6,441 m), and many more, can be seen from Poon Hill. You will return to the lodge for a filling breakfast after taking in the sights.

Following breakfast, it's time to go along a nice forest trail that connects the Ghorepani-Tatopani trial at Chitre to Deurali (2,960m), passing through forests of oak and rhododendron. To reach Banthanti (2,606m), the trail falls through rhododendron trees. The route crosses the creek to the north, climbs into Bhurung Khola, and then descends. After leaving Bhurung Khola, the trail climbs once again for 20 minutes through the rocky trees until arriving at Tadapani. After there, you will go a little farther to the Gurung village of Ghandrunk over a forest route that descends. You are going to the Gurung museum in Ghandruk.

Today is going to be your last day on the trails. You will need around two hours to climb from Ghandruk to Kimche-Syauli bazaar, passing through little towns and gorgeous rice fields along the way. After that, you will say farewell to the trail and drive back to Pokhara.

The planned destination for the day is Pokhara. After leaving Siding, we now climb down the river valley, passing through a number of little Tamang and Gurung villages until arriving at Lumre. We board a car in Lumre that will transport us to Pokhara in an hour. You may spend the evening taking in the Lakeside. We will spend the night in a Pokhara hotel.

The journey comes to an end when our airport representative drops you off at Tribhuwan International Airport in Kathmandu.
