Sightseeing around Kathmandu Valley.

The second day of Poon Hill Trek involves a picturesque 6- to 7-hour drive from Kathmandu to
Pokhara, which covers the distance of 204.8 km.
The drive takes you on winding roads, full of sights of Nepal’s varied landscapes: terrace fields,
forests and faraway peaks of the Himalayas. This drive gives a feel of the rural Nepalese way of
life while it takes one through small villages and riverside towns.
The Poon Hill Trek offers time- and effort-saving alternatives: a 30-minute flight from
Kathmandu to Pokhara.
Aside from shortening the itinerary, flying actually provides a view of Nepal’s nature from a
bird’s perspective—an amazing blend of majestic mountains mingled with verdant valleys.
Your arrival in Pokhara via the scenic drive or the quick flight begins the Poon Hill Trek.
Pokhara which is one of the beautiful gateway cities to the Annapurna region lies along serene
Phewa Lake and presents a peaceful atmosphere prior to the start of the trek.

Kick off your thrilling 3-day Poon Hill Trek with a hearty breakfast in Pokhara, followed by a scenic jeep ride to Tikhedhunga. This journey takes you through Sudame and Hile, culminating at Tikhedhunga, the starting point for your Poon Hill adventure. Choosing a jeep to Ulleri allows you to enjoy picturesque villages and stunning views of Machhapuchhre and Annapurna South, while avoiding steep climbs.

Once you arrive in Ulleri, savor a delicious lunch before embarking on a 6- to 7-hour trek to Ghorepani. Your path winds through lush meadows, vibrant rhododendron and oak forests, and serene pastures. As you pass through Banthanti, a charming Gurung village at 2,200 meters, you’ll continue to Nangthanti at 2,500 meters, navigating gentle hills and creeks, with increasingly spectacular mountain views at every turn.

The final ascent from Nangthanti to Ghorepani rewards you with breathtaking panoramas of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna I, and beyond. Spend a restful night at a cozy tea house in Ghorepani, preparing for an early morning hike to Poon Hill for a mesmerizing sunrise. This short trek beautifully encapsulates the essence of Nepal’s Annapurna region, promising unforgettable moments in nature’s grandeur.

Your fourth day of the Poon Hill Trek starts in the early hours, with a brisk 1-hour hike to the stunning viewpoint at Poon Hill, situated at 3,210 meters. This is a crucial moment as you aim to witness the breathtaking sunrise, when the sun gradually ascends, illuminating the majestic peaks of Annapurna and beyond. The stunning panorama of the Himalayan dawn will leave you in awe, capturing the essence of this magnificent region.

After soaking in the beauty of the sunrise, you’ll return to Ghorepani for a hearty breakfast, preparing for your trek back to Tikhedhunga (1,500m). The descent will take approximately 5 to 6 hours, with the terrain becoming more forgiving as you head south. Along the way, you’ll pass through Nangthanti, where Annapurna I reveals itself in stunning detail, and continue to Banthanti, navigating serene countryside filled with mustard fields and charming villages.

From Banthanti, you’ll further descend to Ulleri, crossing streams and picturesque waterfalls. Enjoy the scenic beauty as you make your way down to Tikhedhunga, a small Gurung settlement where you can savor a leisurely lunch.

Finally, hop into a jeep for the 3-hour drive back to Pokhara (820m), marking the conclusion of your unforgettable 2-day Poon Hill Trek. This adventure perfectly encapsulates the essence of Nepal’s Annapurna region, blending natural beauty, cultural experiences, and the awe-inspiring sunrise over the Himalayas into a short yet memorable trekking experience.

On the fifth day of our Poon Hill Trek, we bid good bye to the Annapurna region and start
driving back towards Kathmandu. The 6-hour drive will follow a scenic road, the Trishuli River
flowing beside it, and the undulating landscapes of hills and rivers. This drive is going to be a
nice and scenic one.
For those who prefer a quicker option, there is an extra-cost flight from Pokhara to Kathmandu
that costs $120. The flight is half an hour and offers great views of mountains and valleys from
above, so the extra pay is worth it for a quicker, scenic return.

It is the sixth day of the Poon Hill Trek, in the morning we will have a half day sight-seeing in Kathmandu valley and finally, we come to the end of our journey here in
Nepal. Later our staff will help you with due preparations at your hotel, checking out
and then transfer you to the airport for an international departure smoothly.
You can also start anew on a different trek or journey to see more of Nepal’s wonders if one
wants to stay in Nepal for a longer period. Starting with additional treks into the Himalayas to
cultural city tours, the options for adventure are almost endless.
Whatever the case may be, whether you are going back home or continuing further, we make
sure that the last day in Nepal is comfortable and memorable. We would love to see you again
for any future adventures.
