Ghorepani Poonhill Trek

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is the short trekking route of Annapurna region trekking in Nepal which fits perfectly for trekkers willing to experience the culture, traditions, woods, wildlife, nature, and Himalayas in a short vacation period.

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is also popularly known as Annapurna Sunrise Trek or Annapurna View Trek. Trekkers will use the trail of Annapurna Base Camp Trek until Poon Hill and Tadapani. From this place onwards trekkers can directly descend down to Tikhedhunga for the bus drive to Pokhara or they can add model Gurung Village Ghandruk on their itinerary. This is probably the most alluring short walking route of the entire world. Splendors of Lake City Pokhara amalgamated with the wilderness of trail consisting of Rhododendron forests and multiethnic (Gurung, Rai, Magar, Chhetris, Brahmin & Dalits) villages.

Moreover, trekkers will be able to encounter rural Nepal with their own eyes. More than 20 different mountain vistas and a very comfortable walking trail might erase your mental drabness and monotonous lifestyle. Sunrise Viewing activity from the top of Poon Hill these days has become a silent ambassador of trekking in Nepal.
