The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is particularly good if you have less time for trekking, if you have never trekked before, or if you are traveling with children. It’s a great introduction to the lifestyle of the people of the Himalaya Mountains. Naturally, it also gives you fabulous views and close contact with the mountains in the Annapurna Range.
This is what you came for, right? This is a relatively easy trek, done at low altitudes but still with spectacular panoramic views from Poon Hill. It can be done in 3, 4 or 5 days.
We recommend 5 days so you can fully enjoy the environment, take in the stunning mountain views, and not work too hard at hiking! For those with limited time and lots of energy doing this trek in 3 days will stimulate you and we hope you will come back for more.
