4-Day Private Poon Hill Trekking Tour

From here, we begin trekking, around 6 hours in total, with a lunch break on the way. You will pass through traditional villages and terraced rice fields, and see how people here still live close to the land. The last part is the hardest, over 3,200 stone steps climbing up to Ulleri at 2,054 m. It is tiring, we will not pretend otherwise, but the lodge waiting for you, with a warm dinner and a good rest, makes it worth it.

Today is more relaxed than yesterday's climb to Ulleri. The trail takes us through rhododendron forests, past small waterfalls and quaint bridges. We stop for lunch in Nangethati, then continue to Ghorepani (2,879 m), known for its blue-roofed houses, where we arrive in the late afternoon. From here, you get a wonderful view of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), the first peak over 8,000 meters on this trek. We spend the night in a cozy lodge, with a good dinner waiting for us.

We wake up early to climb up to Poon Hill (3,210 m) for sunrise, one of the most beautiful moments of the whole trek, with Dhaulagiri, Fishtail, and the full Annapurna range all in front of us. After breakfast back in Ghorepani, we continue through rhododendron forests and past wild creeks, all the way to Tadapani (2,590 m), where we spend the night in a cosy lodge with a heated common room.

We descend through rhododendron and oak forests, full of birdlife, down to Ghandruk (1,940 m), a beautiful Gurung village with panoramic mountain views. After lunch and some time to explore, we continue to Syauli Bazar, where a 2 hour drive brings us back to Pokhara.
