Description

If you wish to go in a truly spectacular trek in Nepal, which will lead you onto beautiful trails through lush forest and remote villages, join us on this amazing Poon Hill Trek. The second most famous trek in the region after the Everest trek, the trip offers jaw-dropping views of towering mountain peaks and the dramatic landscape of the Himalayas.

Poon Hill Ghorepani Trek takes place in the Annapurna Region of Nepal and offers so many things. Along with rewarding you with exceptional views, it also offers a glimpse into the lifestyle and culture of native people, taking you through traditional villages.

The journey will begin and end in the capital city of Kathmandu. From there, a 6-hour drive will take you to Pokhara to begin the trek. We’ll spend the next couple of days heading towards Ghorepani, passing via Tikhedunga. You’ll find yourself walking through a green forest of rhododendron and fir trees, crossing many remote villages. You’ll also get a close view of the lifestyle and culture of Gurung people as you’ll move ahead.

An early morning hike to Poon Hill will follow the next day. Ascending on mountainous terrain, we’ll reach the top just in time to witness a spectacular sunrise. You’ll be spellbound to see the amazing views of the neighboring snow-covered peaks from here.

After relishing our time here, we’ll descend via Ghandruk to reach Pokhara, from where you’ll be transferred to Kathmandu, ending this incredible trek.

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.
