Description
Discover a trek to Poon Hill from Kathmandu. Enjoy a scenic flight to Pokhara, trek through villages and forests, and witness a sunrise over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.
Begin your trek with a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, offering spectacular views of green hills and snowcapped mountains. Upon landing, explore the deep narrow gorge of the roaring Seti River, waterfalls, and cave networks.
After exploring Pokhara, head on a short drive toward Nayapul, the starting point of various treks in the region. From Nayapul, head towards Thikhedhunga, traversing across the deep wilderness, crossing streams, waterfalls, and various settlements.
From Thikhedhunga, move towards the tiny hamlet of Ghorepani, ascending on well-maintained stone stairs and traversing across magnificent oak and rhododendron forests. At Ghorepani, explore the culture and lifestyle of the locals.
Next, proceed toward the famous vantage point of Poon Hill, traversing along a well-marked and maintained route. From the summit, witness grand views of the sunrise over the mountain peaks of Dhaulagiri I (8167m), Tukuche (6920m), Nilgiri (6940m), Annapurna South, Annapurna I (8091m), Hiunchuli (6441m), Tarke Kang (7193m), and Machhapuchhre (6,993 m), all basking in the morning rays of the sun and changing their colors.
After witnessing the gorgeous views, head downhill toward the Modi Khola, traversing across a forested trail to reach Birethanti and finally Nayapul. From Nayapul, move towards Pokhara. The following day, catch a flight back to Kathmandu.
Experience the grand views of nature and learn about the culture and traditions of various ethnic groups along this trail.
