Description

Join us on yet another Poon Hill trek in Nepal. Walk through scenic mountain villages, explore the culture of native people and see one of the most spectacular sunrises from the top of Poon Hill on this 9-day trek.

The journey will take you to the north-western region of Pokhara. You’ll traverse scenic trails and see many beautiful temples and monasteries on the way.

The trail leads through lush valleys at the base of Annapurna and Machhapuchhre mountain ranges. It will take you on verdant hills through rhododendrons, pine, oak and birch trees.

Starting at Kathmandu, we’ll drive to Pokhara to begin our adventure. The initial route leads through terraced fields of rice and mustard. On the way, you’ll see amazing views though many high peaks like Manaslu and Ganesh Himal. You’ll continue to walk through the lush forest until you reach Ghorepani.

Hiking further, you’ll get to the top of Poon Hill, which is definitely the highlight of the trip. The hill soars to the height of 3210m and rewards with an enchanting sunrise and stunning vistas of many imposing peaks like Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Nilgiri and many more.

Our last part of the trek will take us to the beautiful village of Ghandruk. Here, you’ll see the lifestyle of Gurung people closely and it will be really interesting to learn about their traditional practices and unique culture. You can also visit the Gurung Museum to see the artifacts, dresses and other items used by these people.

Again passing through Pokhara, you’ll finally return to Kathmandu by the eight-day to end this incredible trek.

This easy trek doesn’t require any special skills and it is preferred by both seasoned hikers and beginners alike.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
