Ghorepani Poonhill Ghandruk Trek (Pokhara to Pokhara)

On the first day, we start early and go on a pleasant drive to Nayapul, which takes us through green hills and a fantastic city view. We start our trek from Nayapul.

After trekking on a well-built trail of uphill stairs through hills and small villages for about 3 hours, you will reach Hile. It is a tiny village that has heartwarming hospitality with a beautiful view of the Modi Khola.

We will trek to Ghorepani on this day. We will pass through small but diverse villages like Tijhedhunga, Ulleri, and Banthati. These villages give you a sense of warmth as the Gurung and Magar community living here make you feel very welcome.

Since it is a long trek, we take ample breaks as we slowly walk towards our destination.

You will walk through the oak and rhododendron forest and maybe even witness some wild animals and exotic birds. After a 6-7 hours trek, we will finally reach Ghorepani and stay there overnight.

We will start this day very early as we need to catch the breathtaking view of the sunrise over the majestic Himalayas. We will leave our lodge about 2 hours before sunrise and hike up a tiny hill to reach the Poonhill viewpoint.

Surrounded by 32 peaks, you will be blown away by the breathtaking view of sunrise over the Annapurna massif, Gangapurna, Himchuli, Machhapuchhre, and Dhaulagiri.

After spending time at the viewpoint, we will walk back to our lodge. After breakfast, we walk to Ghandruk. We walk for about 7 hours before we reach this culturally rich village.

Ghandruk is a Gurung village that possesses traditionality along with a majestic view of the mountains. It also has local museums, and people perform cultural dances and songs for you to observe.

On the last day, we will trek for about 5-6 hours and reach Nayapul from where we drive back to Pokhara. After the 1-2 hour drive, we’ll be back in the city of lakes where you can indulge in the nightlife and relax.
