Poon Hill Trek is one of the most popular short trekking trips in the Annapurna region of the Himalaya.

This trekking adventure takes you through the Himalayan foothills to the highest elevation of 3,210 meters above the sea level.

You can immerse into the cultural exploration of Gurung people in the villages along the trail. Take your holiday to the mountains and explore the mountain life, culture, nature and views.

The second day of our trekking adventure takes us to Ghorepani - a beautiful village that lies about 1,000 meters above Tikhedhunga. The walk starts with a steep uphill trek to Ulleri village. About two hours of uphill struggle, we eventually arrive to Ulleri easing the trail ahead a bit. After a short break at this beautiful village, we continue walking further ahead through well terraced slopes and then through forest. We reach Ghorepani to find a beautiful welcome of the snow-capped mountains. On a clear day, the view from Ghorepani is simply spectacular. We settle into a teahouse and relax.
