The beauty that Nepal hides in itself is never-ending. Nepal lures thousands of beholders, granting soul-satisfying views of different blends of natural mysticism. In fact, among much such beauty, Poonhill is at the top of the list. Villages with mind-boggling mountain view and soulful hospitality is not something you experience daily. Ghorepani is one of the villages in the lower part of Annapurna Himalaya. Poonhill enjoys a height of 3,210m above sea level.

Ghandruk Poonhill Trek offers an enriching sunrise view.

Now, you may have this question about accessibility. There are plenty of ways to Ghandruk, but Poonhill is a virgin trekking route. You may book a vehicle till Ghandruk and then start trekking uphill. But please check our itinerary for the best Ghorepani Poonhill Trekking.
Ghorepani Poonhill trek is a relatively short trek of 45 kilometers in a circuit encircling clockwise with an exciting viewpoint, the Poonhill at 3250m above sea level. The Poonhill trek renders some fantastic scenes of valleys, which are deep and mountains which are shiny and beautiful.
Trekking in any part of Nepal depends on weather conditions. In fact, weather conditions during Poonhill are not to the extreme as we won’t be getting into higher altitudes. Moreover, quality gear assures that the trek is smooth and satisfying. The hike is wholesome and fulfilling and promises to create memories to share the forthcoming.
Accommodation during Ghorepani Poonhill Trek is nice as this part is facilitated with nicely built hotels and local cooks. And, families mostly run lodges here. Lodges have a large kitchen cum dining area with a large stove providing heat and cozy setting in cold weather. No bedrooms are heated. Most of the rooms have two bedrooms with mattresses, a pillow and, of course, a blanket. Carry sleeping bag; a 2/3 season is good enough as the blankets might not fulfil your sleeping needs. Moreover, please bring a pillowcase for your hygiene and safety concerns. Lodge during the trek has shower facilities, which are powered by gas. Most lodges and homestays have sit down flush toilets, and some even have squat toilets.
The food during the tour is of good quality and is hygienic. You get to see a mixture of western recipes and local Nepali food. Similarly, during this Poonhill trek, you will have plenty of menu options. This includes pastries, beers, soft drinks, and many other food items you usually see in lavish restaurants. Yes, they may not have the same taste and luxury of fine dining. But considering the difficulties of mountain people, international recipe is praiseworthy. Moreover, the everyday staple food of Nepal, which is Dal, Bhat and Tarkari(Steamed Rice, Pulse Soup and Mix Veg/Non-Veg Curry), is everywhere. A famous saying reflects Nepal’s food value: ” Dal Bhat Power, 24 hours”.
