Ghorepani Trekking 5 Days

Our adventure unfolds with a scenic one-and-a-half-hour drive from bustling Pokhara to the quaint village of Tikhedhunga. This 28.4-kilometer journey sets the stage for our five day Ghorepani trek through the stunning Annapurna region.

First, we'll stop in Nayapul to obtain the necessary permits from the Trekking Agencies' Association of Nepal (TAAN) and the Annapurna Conservation Area Project. From Tikhedhunga, the trail ascends steeply towards Ulleri, a charming Gurung village nestled amidst the breathtaking scenery of Annapurna South and Mt. Hiunchuli. The initial climb may be challenging, requiring a steady ascent over numerous stone steps.

Reaching Ulleri, we'll be rewarded with panoramic views and the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture. The trail then continues through lush green fields, traversing ancient rhododendron and oak forests. We'll pause for a well-deserved lunch and a short rest at Nangethanti, enjoying the tranquility of the surrounding nature.

Refreshed, we'll embark on the final leg of our journey for the day, walking through the enchanting Banthanti forest. As evening descends, we'll arrive at our accommodation.

Pickup time is at 8:30 in the morning from your hotel. Our guide will come to your hotel with the vehicle.

Breakfast around 7:00 am; enjoy the mountain breakfast with amazing landscapes and a golden view of Mt. Fishtail. Your breakfast will be ordered before you go to bed but you will get the menu to pick from. During the breakfast, the guide will give you a short brief about the day. A scenic walk through lush forest, streams, rivers, waterfalls, and small local tea houses. From Banthanthi you will be able to see Mt. Fishtail but after reaching Ghorepani you will be amazing with giant mushrooms (mountains). If the weather is clear and you are interested in seeing the sunset from Poonhill, then hike up to Poon Hill, which is about 45 minutes to 1 hour walk from Ghorepani, so consult with your guide. However, you are going for sunrise in the morning.

Evening visit Poon Hill for the sunset view; however, next morning our guide will take you to the Poon Hill for sunrise. The hike is about 45 minutes to 1 Hour from Ghorepani.

It depends on the season but normally you wake up early, around 5 a.m., or your guide will inform you about the time. Our guide will escort you for the sunrise and mountain view at Poon Hill. Pretty much walking over stairs so if you have a problem in your knees, it's better to carry your hiking poles. It takes about 45 to 1 hour to reach Poon Hill from Ghorepani. Enjoy the sunrise, Mt. Fishtail, Annapurna ranges, Dhaulagiri ranges, Tukuche peak, and amazing landscapes. We will hike back to Ghorepani for breakfast and after breakfast, our trek continues towards Tadapani. The beginning hike from Ghorepani up to Deurali is slightly uphill but after that, it's a bit flat and downhill. The last point is uphill and takes about 45 to 1 hour. Enjoy the golden view of Annapurna south, Heuchuli, and Fishtail from the Tadapani.

The trail is short and easier today. Enjoy the morning sunrise view from Tadapani and trek to Ghandruk Village. The way to Ghandruk from Tadapani is quite peaceful and during the springtime, it's beautiful with flowers. Ghandruk village is a big Gurung community settle town. Trails are flat, downhill, but easy to walk. We will have lunch at Ghandruk village and in the evening we will visit Gurung Museum and take a short village walk. Enjoy the last night in the Mountain Village. Fishtail, Annapurna South, and Heuchuli will be shining all the time here. If you want to experience the homestay with the local family, then consult with the guide because you can cook at their local kitchen.

Today marks the final day of our Ghorepani Poon Hill circuit trek, culminating in Syaulibazar.

After a hearty breakfast, we'll leave Ghandruk village and follow the dirt roads winding along the river. Today's trek primarily involves shorter, more authentic trails, leading us downhill towards Syaulibazar.

From Syaulibazar, we'll enjoy a scenic drive back to Pokhara. Your guide will assist with the transfer to your hotel. Please take a moment to thank your guide and porter for their hard work and dedication throughout the trek.

Should you require any further assistance or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact your guide or the tour officer.

If you want to skip the last day hike, then we can drive from Ghandruk to Pokhara by Jeep.
