Useful Info

  • The region Annapurna is named after Mt. Annapurna with an altitude of 8091 meters above sea level and its base camp is 4130 meters but while being in Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek the highest elevation will be 3210 meters.
  • The Annapurna Region Trek is one of the most popular trekking routes in Nepal. It is a conserved area called The Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP), the unique biodiversity, the beautiful mountains, the beautiful scenery, panoramic views, and the unique multi-ethnic and multi-culture diversity of the people residing in the area makes the Annapurna Region the world’s most popular destinations with thousands of visitors every year from around the globe.
  • Mt. Annapurna (8,091 meters) which is the 10th highest mountain in the world had the first human step on the summit in 1950 AD led by French expedition team Maurice Herzog.
  • Like other treks in the Annapurna region, Ghorepani Poon Hill Treks begins from Pokhara, the paradise of Nepal and famously known as the ‘city of the lake’. This trek passes through cascading waterfalls, beautiful villages, rivers, suspension bridges, terraced farmlands, lush rhododendron forests, and hearth-touching mountains like Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Fishtail, etc. Overall, we can say it's a 3600 panoramic view as the journey starts from the hill towards the mountain encountering nature along with the different ethnical people residing beneath the massif Himalayas.
  • To trek in the Annapurna region which also includes Ghorepani Poon Hill, trekkers need two permits i.e. ACAP permit and TIMS Card Permit. ACAP permit cost Rs 3000 and TIMS Card Permit cost RS 1000 (if trekking from a registered trekking company) and Rs 2000 (if trekking self)
  • Trekkers can trek Ghorepani Poon Hill according to their time and interest but the best time to accomplish the trek is February-May and August-January. June and July are regarded as the rainy season and December and January are winter with heavy snowfall making the trail a land of paradise with white snow-covered hills and mountains.
  • Trekking into the Ghorepani Poon Hill trail is far easy then to the other region, trekkers can stay in tea houses and lodges while trekking, hotels, and lodges provide hot showers and Wi-Fi which is payable but the mobile network is accessible in the entire Annapurna region, so trekkers can buy a sim card and use internet data pack during the entire trek.
  • Ghorepani Poon Hill trail is filled with natural beauty, diverse vegetation, and human settlement of different ethnic groups. Trekkers are always welcomed by locals with their warm gestures. Above all, due to its low altitude and easy going into the mountains, the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek can be accomplished by any age group and gender irrespective of their nationality.

A fantastic guide, an amazing Trek

WOW is all I can say about Ace. Udaya was an amazing guide and was perfect throughout the entire trek. He was friendly, super knowledgeable, and handled everything that I needed from gear to travel. They were always concerned about my comfort and seeing that a memorable trip was had by myself and my partner. I had a medical issue that caused him to both works into the night to get a resolution. Of course, being sick in a foreign country can be a scary ordeal, but it was handled professionally and worked out well.

I can say with certainty that they'll be at the top of my list for my next trip and I can say without reservation that I'd go with them again.

Excellent!

I am not an expert on trekking but I love it. From my experience, if you have a plan to trek, the important is you have to find a good guide and travel agency you can trust. I am lucky I found both. So if you have a plan in mind to go to Nepal.. just try to contact them. I believe that you will imprese on their service. 5 trips in Nepal since 2017.. until now I am looking forward to going back to trek with them again 😊

If you don’t want to join a big group for privacy better to have at least two trekkers, this will minimize the cost required for your guide and porter and also in the mountain lodges/tea houses have two separate bed in every room, so trekkers need to share a room with someone else during the high trekking season.

Q4. Is Ghorepani Poon Hill trek dangerous?

Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is one of the safest trekking trails in Nepal. As the country, Nepal is very safe to travel but tourist are always worried while travelling to new land this is very common but the ‘danger’ may occur while being a solo trekker because Ghorepani Poon Hill trek lies in the Annapurna region of Nepal which is in itself a vast region covering hills, mountains and Himalayas and the wrong trail can lead one to different areas of the region.

Q6. Is Ghorepani and Poon Hill two different trekking trails/routes?

Ghorepani and Poon Hill are the names of two different places in the Annapurna region of Nepal but the important point here is one cannot reach Poon Hill without going to Ghorepani and vice versa.

So going to Ghorepani and skipping Poon Hill is somewhat having tea without sugar unless you have diabetes.

Q7. Where to stay while trekking in the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek?

Annapurna region is self-sufficient with numbers of hotels and lodges and Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is in lower altitude so trekkers can have multiple choices for their hotels to choose with varied cuisine to eat some hotels provide private attach- bathroom inside the room and wifi and hot shower all the way.

Q8. Can I/we do Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek on our own?

A big Yes. Nepal is a safe country to travel, trekkers can trek any region at their own but sometime problem arises when there are multiple trekking routes. When being a solo trekker into the mountains the trail may confuse because in the mountain human settlement are limited the higher we trek the less we encounter people.

So it is better suggested to trek with a local trekking agency that provides a well-experienced guide.

Q9. How are the food and accommodation facilities in Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek?

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is a short trek as compared to another trekking trail, the region itself is a conserved area. There are numerous numbers of lodges and tea houses in the trek but the number is limited as the altitude increase.

Some tea houses provide attach toilet facilities as well but the lodges and tea houses are normal with two single beds in every room but some provide private attach- toilet as well, so if you are solo trekkers sometime you may need to share a room with other trekkers because pre-booking is very important during high season.

The lodges and tea houses provide good food mainly local vegetables are served but non-vegetarian items may be imported from the nearby city Pokhara which means it may not be very fresh. Other foods which include pizza, burgers along with Indian, Nepalese, Continental, Chinese, etc are normally served in the tea houses.

Q10. Can we find Wi-Fi and Hot Shower Facilities in the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek?

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is now modernized with the technology, trekkers can use Wi-Fi in all the lodges and tea houses, and also the hot shower is possible upon request but you may need to pay extra for using these.

It is better to have a local mobile sim card with an internet data pack, as the network is strong enough to use the internet but it depends upon the weather condition.

Q11. Can we charge our battery and electronic gadgets in the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek?

It is possible to charge all the electronic gadgets in the Annapurna region which also include Ghorepani Poon Hill trek, for a couple of starting days charging may be free, as the lower area is well sufficient with the electricity but as we trek higher lodges and tea houses use a solar panel for electricity.

So the higher you hike charging gadgets cost some money but charging is possible in every area, it is recommended to carry extra battery while trekking into Himalayas of Nepal.
