Poonhill Trek is a short and very popular trek to the lap of Mt. Annapurna in Nepal. It is a demanding trek for all age groups in the Annapurna region, because of the low elevation into nature with the view of the massif Himalayas.

This Short Poonhill Trek is genuinely a Panoramic Trek to one of the most deserved Annapurna regions on the lap of the Himalayas where nature and culture intermingle together to form a unique blend of vision taking you to the highest overnight camp of Ghorepani (2860M).

The variation of the Ghorepani Poon Hill 6 days Trek has made the trail one of Nepal's most visited and easy hiking destinations. This will be a warm-up Short Annapurna Trek for beginners as well as for those who want to enjoy a small hike below the Himalayas with family and friends to have a close view of Annapurna (8091m) and Dhaulagiri (8167m) ranges both above 8000 meters spreading with numerous of other Himalayas.

The trail is diverse in nature and culture; different ethnic groups of people reside in the area. Passing through beautiful rivers, suspension bridges, villages, terraced farmland, and the jungle will enthrall every trekker with its beauty.

Moreover, the area has different flora and fauna, including leopards, deer, Langur, red pandas, etc are found in the area. The massif Himalayas like Annapurna, Nilgiri, Machhapuchre, Dhaulagiri, Gangapurna, etc is a must-see.

This short Annapurna Ghorepani Trek will take us close to the base camp of Annapurna in a short period to explore the mighty Himalayas. The trail is easy to wander along the river, villages, and jungle; making it filled with beautiful colors of culture and nature combined. The sunrise view from Poonhill (3210m) will be breathtaking.

It is easy with the trail to go and also the altitude, as the highest elevation of Ghorepani Trek in Nepal is 3210m above sea level which is the popular hill station known as Poon hill but trekkers will spend overnight at the base of Poonhill which is Ghorepani (2860m). This makes it more fun and easy to wander in the Annapurna region of Nepal.

The diversity of Gurung settlements throughout the trail also allows us to visit the Ghandruk village and its well-preserved typical museum. Their hospitality, festivals, and cultures are filled with beauty.

This makes the trail also known as Ghorepani Ghandruk Trek, as in this mini-circular trail of the Annapurna region ethnic settlement plays a vital role in preserving the entire ecology of the Annapurna region.

When is it best to experience snowfall in Poonhill trek

Trekking into Poonhill during the month of Spring will add benefit to explore variety of natural vegetation and the forest of Ghorepani - Poonhill, which is the largest Rododendron forest will be filled with different clours of flowers. Apart from these, during the month of December, Januray and Feburary, which are the winter in Nepal, Poonhill trail will be filled with snow. 

As winter recieves thick snowfall in the himalayas, however due to low altitude (3210M) Poonhill receives snowfall but lesser as compared to other higher region.

    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 😊
