Ghorepani Poonhill Trek
A Easy and Short Trekking with Panaromic Mountian Views

Ghorepani Poonhill trekking is a colorful short foray into the Annapurna region. The trail winds through patchwork valleys, dense mossy forests and past icy waterfalls where you can stop to cool your face. Around every corner is a tantalizing glimpse of the high mountains, whole horizons of which will be revealed to you as you reach the high points of your trek.

This trek in the Annapurna foothills to the view point on Poon Hill offers all the best of trekking in Nepal. Enjoy trekking in the spectacular mountain scenery through charming villages inhabited by the Gurungs, Magars dense rhododendron forests full of birds and deep sub-tropical valleys, all set below the Annapurna with the picturesque peak of Machhapuchhare (Fish Tail Peak) dominating the skyline. At the climax of this trek you will climb Poon Hill at dawn to enjoy one of the most spectacular mountain scapes on Earth. As the sun touches the snow-capped summits the Himalayan giants, Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and Annapurna (8,091m) along with a maze of other peaks, slowly begin to appear, like magic, before our eyes.

Successes Trip: 7 Days Ghorepani Poonhill Trek

I and my friend took a 5-day Ghorepani Poonhill Trek and we enjoyed the trekking very much. Babu  Karki, ( Director of Adventure Great Himalaya Treks) was recommended by one of our friends. Before coming to Nepal, he was very patient and helpful to answer all my questions (eventually our email is over 30 pages in A4 size paper). After we have arrived Nepal, he has arranged everything in order. Apart from the trekking, he is also our consultant for travelling Chitwan, Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. We cannot forget that when we had troubles with our hotel (booked by ourselves) in Kathmandu, he was willing to give us a helping hand. Many thanks  to Babu.

Also I would like to thank our trekking guide, Guman, and our porter, Anup Shah. I am grateful for their help during the trekking. It is a miracle that I can finish the trekking! (I seldom go for hiking in Hong Kong.) I particularly want to thank Guman for arranging a bucket for me every evening so that I can clean up the dead  sea mineral mud from my legs in the bedroom. I think few tourist would have such request in the mountain. I also thank Anup Shah for looking for me a stick so quickly when I was walking very clumsy on slippers on the way to the hot spring. (I had thought that it took only 5 minutes from the guest house to the hot spring but the fact is that it is a half an hour walk!) The stick really helped me a lot. Anup Shah, regardless the thing is heavy or light, you are always willing to help with sweet smile. Thank you very much.

Travelling Nepal is a very special experience for me. It is different from the other trips I had before. It is very challenging. Thanks again to Babu, Guman and Anup Shah who have helped me to fulfill my hope. I have no doubt to recommend  Adventure Great Himalaya Treks to anyone who intends to travel Nepal.
