Overview
The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is a short hike in the Annapurna mountain range in Nepal. Poonhill trek starts from Nayapul after one and half hour drive from Pokhara. This trek passes beautiful villages of Ulleri, Ghorepani and Ghandruk. You will enjoy trek in the spectacular mountain scenery through delightful villages inhabited by Gurungs and Magars.
At 3,210 meters, the Poon Hill sunrise view of the snowy rugged Annapurna Himalaya range, was worth every grueling step it took to get there! It takes a moderate level of fitness to complete, and the max elevation is 3,210 meters (so there’s no real risk of altitude sickness). Pokhara is the closest main access city to begin treks into the Annapurna range.
