Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

It is the first day of trip and your arrival day in Kathmandu Nepal. When you land at the airport in Kathmandu and come out at the arrival lounge, our company representative will welcome you with a warm smile. Then, we will drive you to the trip hotel where you can spend relaxing time. We will have a meeting in the evening to talk about the trip in details.

After you take your breakfast, a beautiful day sightseeing tour of heritage monuments in Kathmandu valley is due today. Visit Swoyambhunath – the monkey temple; Patan Durbar Square – the medieval palace square; Pashupatinath – the open cremation ground for Hindus; and Boudhanath – the biggest Buddhist stupa.

Take your breakfast early and check out the hotel to travel to Pokhara today. We will drive to 200 kilometers west of Kathmandu to reach Pokhara, a charmingly beautiful city. About seven hours of drive will let us absorb the beauty of the Nepali rural settings. There will be a break on the way for the lunch. On reaching Pokhara and checking into our hotel, we will have some time to explore around the town on the lake side.

Early morning drive for one and half hours to Birethanti. On reaching Birethanti, the trekking crew will organize your luggage to carry on their back and we formally start our first day of trekking towards the Annapurna base camp. Trek along the bank of Modi Khola and head towards Tikhedhunga thereafter. The walk today is actually on a dirt road. After about 5 hours with the lunch break, you reach Ulleri.

The very first half of the trekking today is a steep uphill walk for about 2 hours on nicely paved stone steps up to the village of Ulleri. The snow-capped Himalayan peak peeking from between green mountains will make your early morning uphill trekking effort worthy. After a short but deserved break, start trekking further up towards Ghorepani. Walk through a forested area mostly of the rhododendron trees and head towards the destination of the day. Reach Ghorepani to be welcomed by fresh breeze blowing from the high Himalayas and stunning view of the Himalaya on a clear day.

Wake up early for a rewarding hike to Poonhill this morning to enjoy panoramic view of the Himalaya and a spectacular sunrise over them. Sip your cup of tea and be enthralled by the incredibility of the mountains from the top of Poonhill. Later, hike back down to Ghorepani; take breakfast and get ready to start the trek to Tadapani. The first part of the trek takes you uphill almost to the height of Poonhill on the other mountain just opposite to it and then the trek descends for the lunch break of the day. After lunch walk further down just to go for another short step walking uphill to Tadapani.

Take the breakfast at tea house and start the trek of the day to Chhomrong, a beautiful Gurung village about six hours away from there. The trail descends to Kimrong Khola and then goes up the mountain to Chhomrong village.

Today is the last day of the trek. After trekking for about 1.5 hours to Jhinu, you will drive to Pokhara and it takes about 4 hours to reahc Pokhara. Once you are in Pokhara, you will have some leisurely time to celebrate the end of the trekking day. Stay overnight in Pokhara.

Take a drive back to Kathmandu on the same highway you took to go to Pokhara earlier. Another six hours on the highway will give you time to observe the villages and towns on the way from a different angle. After reaching Kathmandu and checking into hotel, you will have some free time to wander around the streets of Thamel.

We will drive you to airport for the departure flight three prior to your flight schedule.
