One of the most renowned short treks in the country of Nepal, ghorepani poon hill trek gives tourists access to Nepal's classic viewpoints in Poon Hill, prior to passing via the legacy village of Ghandruk.
Overview of ghorepani poon hill trek:
Also known as Poon Hill trek, the Ghorepani trek is no doubt one of Nepal's shortest treks. Within a short span of time, travelers pass through lovely local villages, rhododendron forests, and obviously get access to stunning sights of Nepal's most popular peaks from Poon Hill – Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South and Annapurna I.
Suggested Itinerary:
Quite often, this trek is accomplished in five days (two days to arrive at Ghorepani, and three days to come back to Nayapul). However, keep in mind that much relies on how quickly you move ahead and how you'd love to relish your hike. This hike can also be accomplished in either direction, both ways are rewarding. From Pokhara, you will be driven to Nayapul, where you will officially start your trekking adventure.
Difficult and pace:
Usually, Poonhill trek is a considerably simple hike in comparison to other high altitude hikes in Nepal. On day two, however, anticipate a tough hike up the stone stairway, from Tikhedhunga to Ghorepani – 1387 meters of altitude accomplished in a single day shouldn't be taken lightly. Your hiking duration every day will mostly relies upon your fitness level and how much you'd love to stop to relish the sights.
Accommodation during the trek:
I have done quite a few backpacking treks in the US where I had to bring all my own food, tent, and sleeping supplies. The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek at the same time what's called a “Tea House Trek.”
Fundamentally, the trek, while it does need a normal level of fitness, is not an extreme wilderness survivor-man trek. You generally hike from village to village, stay in decent but barebones lodges, and have the overwhelming option of eating appetizing freshly cooked foods.
We had a totally amazing time, and the sights of the Himalayas were beyond exceptional. The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is an excellent way to hike and be in the mountains while still being able to sleep securely and warmly and eat freshly cooked meals. Peak climbing in Nepal can't be completed without going for a ghorepani poon hill trek. Be it island peak climbing or ghorepani poon hill trek – Nepal is ultimate vacation destination that you must visit at least once in your lifetime.
