Full description
Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is the right for those who don’t have much time for longer trek, or don’t think you are physically ready for hard and longer trekking? Then Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is the perfect one for you. Poon Hill Ghorepani trek offers easy walk in the first day of trek. Only on the day of the trip, you have some long steep uphill stone stair case to Ulleri Village from Hile but after walking about two hours from the beginning you will enter into biggest rhododendron forest. You may see different colors of rhododendron flowers if you are trekking in March to May. Once you reach to Upper Ghorepani Deurali you will observe beautiful matchless panoramic Mountain View. On the second night we stay at Ghorepani, at altitude of 2855 meters. Most trekkers rise before down and hike up to Poon Hill (3210m) for early morning pleasure trek. The spectacular panorama stretches from Dhaulagiri I (8167m), Tukche peak (6920m), Nilgiri (6940m), Annapurna South (7219m), Annapurna I (8091m), Hiunchuli (6441m), Machhapuchhre (6997m) and the Lamjung Himal and Manaslu to Far East.
