Description

The quaint village of Ghorepani (2530m) is undoubtedly one of the most popular trekking destinations in Nepal. Join us on a 6-day tour where we will take you through an incredible landscape of soaring cliffs and lush forests in the Annapurna range to this destination.

Located in the Dhaulagiri Zone, on a popular trail linking numerous other villages, Ghorepani served as a rest stop for traders looking for water for their horses in ancient times. Therefore, it is a stunning historic town with unique cultural value.

Once you reach there, you'll have a chance to witness one of the most mesmerizing sunrises over Dhaulagiri and Annapurna from Poon Hill. After, we'll descend to Ghandrung village. Situated above the Modi Khola river, at an elevation of 1951 meters, Ghandrung offers spectacular vistas of the Annapurna range. From there, you will have unobstructed views of the peaks of Gangapurna, Annapurna III and Machapuchre standing tall in all their glory.

You'll cross a high pass at 2439 m before descending to the charming village of Dhumpus. A steep descent through terraced rice fields further leads to the base near the Yangri Khola river. By the sixth day, we'll return to Phedi, the base of the hill and drive to Pokhara to end this remarkable trip.

Tour Operator

My name is Rinzin Bhote. I am 45 years old. I live in Chepuwa village, in far Eastern Sankhuwasabha District, Nepal, a very lush and green place. I am married and have 2 children. I have been involved with the trekking world from early on in my life. I have worked through my way first as helper and as Sherpa assistance, until I reached a climbing guide position. In total I have 18 years of experience in climbing and for the last 18 years I have been leading treks and expeditions to several peaks in the Himalayas.

I have been almost everywhere in the Nepalese Himalayas and in some places of the Himalayan region of Tibet and India. I have been in Annapurna and in the Everest region many times. I have climbed Mount Everest two times. Other popular places I have been to are Langtang, Gosaikunda and Helambu. I have led many small and big groups and individual climbers to five of the 8-thousander peaks, like Everest (8848m) Makalu (8485m), ChoOyo , Shisapangma, and Lotshe.

I have spent many days in snow conditions at high altitude areas above 5000 meters, where some clients may experience sickness due to high altitude and I have always been able to handle such situations tactfully and in a safe way. Actually I am always prepared for any eventuality along the climbing.

My first ascents were Shisapanga (8013m) and, ChoOyo (8188m). I have also climbed almost all smaller trekking peaks and 6000m -7000m peaks like Gokyo Ri (5357 m), Yala Peak (5520m), Tharpu Chuli (5663m), Baruntse (7129m), Putha Hiunchuli (7246m), Saribung (6345m), Everest Thamserku (6623m), Mera Peak (6476m), Island Peak (6189m), Pisang Peak (6091), Lobuche (6145m), Kang Guru (6981m), Dorje Lakpa (6966m), Kanjiroba (6883m), Changla (6721m), Singu Chuli (6501m), among other mountains.

Just contact me and I will take you on a trek or on a great ascent expedition to some of the many Nepalese Himalayas amazing peaks.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
