Any individual passionate about trekking or mountains knows Ghorepani Poonhill Trek is one of the distinguished treks across the globe for its authenticity, surreal views, heartwarming culture and astonishing natural resources. Elevating at a maximum height of 3210 meters ( PoonHill), this trek is followed through by thousands of tourists each year. Starting the trek from Pokhara, the road follows through regional highway until it reaches Nayapul, from where the trek begins. It immediately elevates up until one reaches Ghandruk, a beautiful settlement of Gurungs and Ghales. This small town overlooks the massive Annapurna I to the north and raging Himalayan river, Modi, below.
The trekking path gets rugged and treacherous for the next part of the journey up until Ghorepani, which is the final stop before Poonhill. The view from Poon Hill though is exceptional with the sun’s first rays touching down on the western massifs of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. The golden shine that comes in these mountains with the sunrise is just heartwarming to gaze upon. Also, the walk down from the Poon Hill will take you through quaint villages, numerous streams, deep gorges and magnificent viewpoints. There is a reason that thousands of tourists downpour into this destination every year and it is none other than its awesomeness.
