Overview:

“Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking – Annapurna Sunrise Trek”

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking is also called as Annapurna Sunrise Trek. What are the things that you consider if you want to go on a week - long holiday? What would you do if somebody tells you that in a week’s holiday you can get vista of more than 3 dozen mountains, forests, rivers, villages, lakes as well as city clamor? Yes, it is worth going. 

The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking is probably the most enthralling short trekking holiday trail of the world. Trail extends from beautiful Pokhara Valley and iconic Annapurna Base Camp. The final destination on this trip is the Poon Hill (3210 m). This vantage point is the perfect place to get the outstanding scenery of mountains on all sides. 

Journey starts from Ulleri or Tikhedhunga. However, there are numerous trail heads. Trekkers can trek from the Ghandruk route as well. Consult with the Everest Buddha Treks’ travel planners before embarking on this trekking holiday regarding the choice of trail head. 

Regular trekking is from Tikhedhunga. Trekkers have to walk full day uphill in order to reach Ghorepani on the first day of trekking. Even if it is uphill walking the green lush forests and chirping sound of birds along with the cool breeze of fresh mountain air enthrall trekkers. 

Ghorepani Village

Ghorepani Village is at the top of the hill. The panoramic view of mountains seen from hotel room’s window is very enticing. During spring season trekkers the blooming rhododendron sends romantic vibes all over the village. Therefore, it is highly recommended to trek on this trail during spring season. Though trekking is possible throughout the year on this trail. 

Village is home of Magar, Gurung and Chhetris. There are numerous teahouses/lodges. If you love tranquility and laid back village lifestyle then you can opt to spend few days on this village. There is plethora of side hikes which you can do apart from Poon Hill Hike. Gurung Hill Hike and Ghandruk Village route as return trail is also recommended activity to do during Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking.

The extension of visa requires an additional payment of $30. Do not forget to carry some passport size photos with you.

I want to go on a trek. What is the best time and place for it?

Everything you want to do is time and cost specific. Besides, your experience in trekking will also matter. There is wide range of options in Nepal if you want to explore. If you arrive in proper season, that is, between September to November (Autumn Season) and March to May (Spring Season), you might just experience something that you will be able to cherish for the lifetime. The shortest of trek can be Ghorepani Poon Hill trek, Langtang Helambu Trek or the Annapurna Circuit. The Everest trek and the full Annapurna sanctuary Trek can be ideal if you have a little more time. Finally, if you are looking for something that’s longer and more challenging, you’re looking at Kanchanjunga or Makalu area Trek.

What are the best trekking routes?

Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Basecamp, Everest Basecamp, Dhaulagiri Circuit, Manaslu Circuit and Kanchanjunga are the most popular trekking routes in Nepal.

Should I trek with an agency or should I trek alone?

Trekking alone can be a good experience if you are familiar with the terrain and have quite a few experiences in the area. Nobody can drag you down, and you can move at your own pace savoring the pleasant sceneries around to you. However, if it is your first experience or so, you might want to travel in group or with an agency. Should situations like medical emergencies, isolation due to disasters, etc. occur, having a group can be a matter of relief. If you have no group and you’re all by yourselves, you can hire a porter or a guide.

Is communication to our home country possible while on a trek or climb?

Nepal’s communication facilities are getting day by day, and most portions of trekking routes have mobile phone coverage. In case of a climb, VHF or satellite phones are available at the base camp. In both cases, weather can play an important role in communication.
