Pokhara: Poon Hill Culture Trek & Village Homestays (4-Day)

Experience a unique cultural version of the classic Poon Hill trek with homestay experiences, local interactions, and slow-paced village exploration.
Begin your 4-day trek with a scenic drive from Pokhara to Birethanti. Continue through Ulleri, Ghorepani, and Ghandruk, with a strong focus on authentic cultural immersion. Instead of standard teahouse lodges, stay in selected community-run homestays hosted by Magar and Gurung families, where you can learn about daily life, traditions, and mountain hospitality.

Join your host family in preparing traditional Nepali meals, try local cooking techniques, and enjoy storytelling sessions about village history, customs, and mountain culture. Walk through terraced farmlands, rhododendron forests, and ancient stone-paved trails while also visiting lesser-known cultural spots such as local monasteries, heritage houses, and traditional viewpoints.

Your guide will introduce you to local farming practices, explain community lifestyles, and translate conversations with homestay families. Enjoy a sunrise experience from Poon Hill, but with extra time for guided cultural insights into local mountain legends and the spiritual significance of the Annapurna range.

In Ghandruk, visit a traditional Gurung Museum and interact with elderly community members to understand the roots of the Gurung warrior culture. This trek is designed for travelers who want more than a physical challenge—those seeking meaningful cultural immersion, authentic interactions, responsible tourism, and a deeper understanding of rural Himalayan life.
