The enthralling short Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek among trekking bucket lists; Scenic Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is definitely worth saying yes to!
Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek starts from Nayapul, passes through Ulleri, and pauses at Ghorepani. The walk gets interesting with the wetland and crossing through dense rhododendron forest from Ulleri to Ghorepani. At Ghorepani, you can relax in chill weather where you can also interact with the Magar(subcaste- Poon) community.
The walk is held at Ghorepani for the next day’s spectacular and glorious sunrise. Early morning’s hour walk up to hill can be strenuous for the time but the priceless and glorious rays of bleak golden Sunrise peeking out from the horizon is worth watching from the top of Poon Hill. Get ready to hold your heart!
Exceptionally, you will witness the 360 degrees (panoramic) view from the top enriched with several snow-clad mountains: Mt. Annapurna I (8.091m) – the 10th highest mountain in the world, Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m) – the seventh highest mountain in the world followed by other beautiful Himalayas, which is the main attraction of the Poon Hill Panoramic Trek 2024.
After mesmerizing time spent over the hill, the walk descends towards a dense forest pleasing your ears with the birds chirping and the cool atmosphere around. The trail concludes at Ghandruk village; One of the largest Gurung settlements with an abundance of culture and hospitality where you can observe museums, traditional culture, and friendly people. which is one of the beautiful aspects of the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek.

I had the privilege of meeting Sujan in 2013 along the Annapurna circuit. When you meet someone incredible, it's impossible to forget them. Despite just meeting him randomly along the trail, he made a very positive impression on my wife and me, who think fondly of our conversations and interactions. He has a wealth of wisdom and experience, not just in the mountains but in interacting with people all over. He's got an unquenchable heart for people and his country, which he shares well with anyone in his company. When we do go back, he will be one of those people we must meet again. It's not a surprise that he has started a reputed guiding organization. It's about time! I would highly recommend Sujan and would even provide a back guarantee for anyone who does not have a stellar experience with him.
