Overview
Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is a ten day trekking package in which you get to hike to the Ghorepani Poon Hills in the vicinity of the Annapurna region where you are able to catch the specialties of the natural wonders that are on offer, like viewing the majestic snow-capped peaks of the area, take a bath in the hot springs of Tatopani on the way, and climb the hills of Poon for a breath-taking four-dimensional view of north, south, east and west.
The pivotal point of the trek is when you get to the top of Poon Hill which lies not very high like the other peaks in the vicinity of Annapurna at 3210 meters above sea level, but for the fact of the vantage point of views which it gives you from there, is simply majestic and is worth the while coming all the way. You get a spectacular view of the sun rising and setting over the mountain ranges to the north, these snow-capped peaks giving a golden sheen in the glow. The rest of the day is just as wonderful with the panoramic sights of the surrounding areas and hills. The trek, itself ahead of reaching, Poon Hill is equally enthralling with the hot water springs, making Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek all the more worth it. The landscape, the villages which you pass, all seem to come alive with what they have to offer, making this eco-trek rather one of the friendliest. So much so that you might be taken up with wanting to trek around in the vicinity of the Annapurna region to see what other secrets it has to offer.
There is much that one can gain from this short but sweet romantic trek in the vicinity of the Annapurna area. It seems like the rejuvenating bath taken on the way, gets you relaxed in the comfort, getting you ready to take the next level of excitement of the top of Poon Hill (not a tall hill by any means) but the panoramic, romantic view of the sights and sound capture by the mental imagination – makes the trek so worth every penny invested in it. Morning or evening is the best part as the sun’s rays, hitting the snow-capped peaks of the Annapurna and others seem as if they are covered in scintillating glow of golden confetti, so much so, it and the area around would seem as if “Mid-Summer Night Dream” was true. It is not only the climax of the hike, but also the excitement which builds up, with each river you pass, each village you stop at displaying their culture and tradition and the flora and fauna just seems to build in this short span of time. There is the trails and forest that you pass through, always parting their secretive glimpses of the Snow-capped peaks and Annapurna and Machhapuchhre, removing any fatigue that might build seeming to beckon you on, every step of the way.
So much so, thought this might be a short trek, you might take for constraints of time, it will simply rejuvenate you mentally and physically, that you would look to do some more treks like Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Ghandruk Loop Trek and Mardi Himal Trek ones in trekking in Annapurna region.
How easy are the daily hike?
The daily hikes are comparatively easier than some of the other trekking destination. There are some climbing ascends which are not much telling on the body as a whole. If any, that does crop up as naturally it is a mountainous region which you are doing the trek, they are alleviated by the fabulous sight on while on the hike. Plus, the nightly rest you get is comforting at the lodges provide at the different villages where you would stop each night at. The little exercise coupled with the natural unpolluted environment in which this trek is done, will only help to freshen your mental and physical well-being. And, in the bargain might make you to consider doing one in another region of the Himalayas, like the ones in Trekking in Everest in the shadow of this gigantic and world’s tallest peak.

When to go:
Spring (Feb – May) and Autumn (Sept- Dec) are the best seasons for the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking.

Please check with your insurance company that adventure activities and trekking above 3000m are covered in your policy, as some companies do not cover such things. You must carry proof of insurance (e.g. your insurance certificate) with you on the holiday; if you cannot provide this at the start of the holiday, you will be required to take out a suitable policy at that time.
Meals and Accommodation:
In Kathmandu, we normally use three star tourist standard hotel with breakfast but can upgrade/downgrade upon request. During the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking, we provide the best available guest house which is called Tea house(lodge). Tea Houses are more like hotels, with hot showers, western food, and private rooms (twin sharing). Some guesthouses are basic with shared washing and toilet facilities. If you are travelling in a group, you will share a room with someone else of the same gender from your group. If you prefer a single room, you may indicate your preference on request and pay a supplement. Keep in mind that there are several places which do not allow single accommodations during peak season, but we will try our best to accommodate your preferences if possible. In this arrangement overnight halts with dinner and breakfast will be in Tea-houses (Lodges) and lunches in local restaurants en-route. Furthermore as you will be staying in locally owned lodges you will be benefiting and interacting with the local community. It will give you a true feel for the Nepalese people and their lives.

While Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking, your guide will help with menu selection and ensure that you get the best value meals possible.

Most teahouses offer a variety of rice and noodle dishes, as well as soup and seasonal vegetables. A variety of cereals, bread and egg dishes are generally available for breakfast. There will also be plenty of snacks available such as biscuits, chocolate and soft drinks and in some areas you will find fresh fruit in season. You can buy bottled mineral water from local lodges and shops en route or you can also ask your guide to fill your water bottle with boiled water and treat with water purification pills.
