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  Poon Hill 4 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 Poonhyill 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 Poonhill 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.

Discover Altitude has designed this Poonhill Trek for those who are on a short holiday tour in Nepal but are desperate to do some hiking tour below the Himalayas.

If so, come and join the local agency, we will make your stay in Nepal a memorable one for your entire life. Enjoy and observe the mountain people's life and culture, allowing them to serve their typical hospitality. View Nepal through the eye of locals.

Which is the Best time of the year for the Poonhill Trek

Due to its simplicity, the Poonhill trek can be accomplished by any age group and gender and for those who want to experience the wide range of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Himalayan ranges. Poonhill trek is one of the best, to be close to the Himalayas and far away from city crowds.

Poonhill trek can be done throughout the year, however, the month of June and July are not recommended for the Poonhill trek, as these months are the monsoon in Nepal. This trail receives sufficient rainfall and the views of the Himalayas are not possible to observe due to monsoon clouds also the trail will be wet with frequent rain during your trek.

When is it best to experience snowfall in Poonhill trek

Poonhill trekking trail is one of the easiest trail of the Annapurna region, which can be done any time of the year. Due to its closeness from the main city of Pokhara, there are numbers of standared lodges and hotels throughout the trail. With standard facilities hotels provides Wifi, hot shower, attach bathrooms, mountain facing rooms and different cusine.

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.

Sightseeing Deluxe

A very special introduction to the culture of Nepal was given to me by Kumar, the manager of Discover Altitude. He was my guide for a few days and I was able to see extraordinary things and felt very comfortable in his presence. With great knowledge, he led me through all the temples of Kathmandu and we were also on the way outside. I was blessed with wonderful memories. Highly recommended team...

Fantastic, stupendous and superb

We two senior citizen friends (65) took a customized tour to Lower Mustang tour. In these 4 days and 3 nights trip transport, driver, and guide were provided by the agency. In the rough terrain all the way, the transport provided along with the driver Subhash negotiated the difficult road very efficiently and professionally. The guide Mr. Narain, a thoroughly professional guy with his immaculate English fed us all the necessary information and kept our morale high all along. We were very apt in customizing the trip as and when it was needed, without any hesitation. Can’t thank more to Santosh and Kumar who were at the helm of the affairs.
Highly recommend them for their very professional service and care.
Our best gratitude to Naran, the guide without him this trip would have been boring and futile.

Everest region hiking and cultural tour of Kathmandu

I just did excellent trekking tour in Everest region, very well organized by Discover Altitude company. The guides Amar and Suckre did fantastic job, both of them always positive and helpful. As well there was historical and cultural tour of Kathmandu which was really interesting with plenty of amazing places to visit. Kumar and Santos presented the activities with a lot of details and knowledge which gives additional value of the city tour. Super experience which I highly recommend.

THE BEST TRIP - Female Solo Traveller

It's hard to explain how amazing this trip was - and how integral Kumar and his team of Santos and Narayan was to the success of it. I found his name recommended time and time again on a fb group for solo female travellers.

I initially booked the 9 day EBC tour, and then stayed in Kathmandu for a week after.Not only was Kumar in touch with my during the trip itself, but he was there to answer any little question I had for about 2 months prior. I would WhatsApp him, and he would reply and explain everything to me. As a female solo traveller, this constant line of communication was so important to a feeling of safety.

He organised a yoga and meditation retreat, a Kathmandu city tour, a trip to Chitwan safari and finally a day tour to Bhaktapur - Kumar was there every step of the way.
During the EBC trip, my guide Narayan was simply amazing - he has extensive knowledge of everything in the mountains, from how local communities work to altitude sickness.

I ended up having to be helicoptered out of there and went to hospital, where Santos and Kumar visited me twice in 24hrs, and really took care of me.
Like I said, it's hard for me to express how much Kumar and his team MADE my trip. Kumar, Santos and Narayan, thank you so so much, you are the BEST!
