Overview of Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek – 3 days

The 3-day Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is a short and refreshing adventure in Nepal’s Annapurna region. It is ideal for travelers who do not have much time but still want to enjoy real Himalayan views and local village life. In just a few days, you will walk through rhododendron forests, stone-paved trails, small farming villages, and peaceful hillsides.

The main highlight of this short Ghorepani trek is the sunrise from Poon Hill (3,210 m), where the first light of the day touches Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, and many other peaks. It is a simple moment, but one that most trekkers remember for a lifetime. The trip starts from Pokhara, and we drive you to Nayapul, the starting point of the walk. Each day, you follow gentle trails and stay in local tea houses for the night.

Villages like Tikhedhunga, Ulleri, and Ghorepani give you a warm welcome with friendly people and tasty home-cooked meals. The walking is comfortable for most people, and even beginners or families can enjoy this route without stress. Even though this is a short Ghorepani trek, it includes all the best parts of the region. The forests are full of color during spring, and the mountain views appear again and again as you walk.

On the final morning, a short climb takes you to the top of Poon Hill for an amazing sunrise that lights up the whole Himalaya range. Throughout the trip, Above The Himalaya takes care of all arrangements so you can simply walk, relax, and enjoy the scenery.

You will walk back to Nayapul after your visit to the sunrise, and walk back to Pokhara, where you can rest on the lakeside or proceed with your journey. It is a beautiful 3-day walk through the Annapurna foothills that is a great adventure, a short and easy trek that can be experienced in a short run, and is worth remembering all through.

Weather & Best Season for Ghorepani Poon hill trek

The Annapurna region has four distinct seasons. Autumn (September–November) and spring (March–May) are the best times for the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek. In these months, daytime temperatures are mild (around 10–20°C) and skies are usually clear. Autumn offers stable weather and outstanding mountain views. Spring brings warm days and vibrant rhododendron blooms along the trail.

The summer monsoon (June–August) brings heavy rain and slippery trails, so it’s best to avoid that season. December–February is dry but very cold at night – trekkers enjoy crisp, clear days but must pack warm layers. Overall, autumn and spring offer the most comfortable weather and visibility for this short Ghorepani poon hill trek.

Food & Drink

Local teahouse serves simple Nepali meals on the short Ghorepani poon hill trek. Typical options include dal bhat (rice and lentils), curried vegetables, noodles, and momos (dumplings). Most meals in the itinerary are included: you will receive breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day as specified. Breakfast often features eggs, porridge, or toast. Hot beverages like tea and coffee are available for purchase in lodges.

Drinking water is not provided, so bring a water purification method or buy bottled water in villages. Alcoholic drinks (like local rakshi or beer) are also sold but not included. Carry some energy snacks (chocolates, nuts) for the hike. Stay well-hydrated by drinking boiled or treated water and herbal teas throughout the trek.

Altitude Sickness

The peak of the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is Poon Hill (3,210 m). Acute mountain sickness (AMS) may develop at this moderate altitude, but it is mild. These symptoms comprise headache, nausea, or fatigue.

In order to reduce the risk, climb slowly and maintain hydration. Before this trek, we suggest staying at a lower altitude (Pokhara, 820 m) as you arrive in Kathmandu. Walk slowly and take a rest when you get tired.

Do not take alcohol or heavy food. A majority of the trekkers make good acclimatization by being busy and relaxed. Should any of the serious symptoms occur (dizziness, shortness of breath), notify your guide at once, so they can rest or descend. In general, fit individuals with good plans tend to handle the elevations of this hike.

Visa & Permits for the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

All foreign nationals have to acquire a tourist visa in Nepal, which can be obtained upon arrival at the Kathmandu or Pokhara airport. A 30-day visa will cost around US$ \ -50 (carry passport-sized photos and either local currency or USD cash).

In the trek itself, an Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) will be required. Above The Himalaya organizes ACAP and any other necessary trekker registrations or permits based on the current regulations.

Take a copy of your permits and passport. Ensure that your passport is valid (at least 6 months). When coming by air or road (Kathmandu), you get the visa at the time of arrival; when going by road (Pokhara), you can take the help of most agents beforehand. Organizing documents will be a sure start to this Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek.

Health & Safety

Trekking in Nepal is normally safe, provided one takes some basic precautions. Keep hydrated and do not consume uncooked food or unboiled water. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a small first aid kit (e.g,. any medication needed by you). Routine vaccinations (tetanus, hepatitis A, typhoid) should be done.

Take the advice of your guide on safety on the journey of Ghorepani poon hill trek 3 days, some parts of the trail can be steep or become slippery following rain. Apply insect repellent where necessary. Inform your guide of any medical problems or concerns. Women traveling in villages are expected to dress in modest way.

The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is mostly secure, but keep your bag packed. Medical facilities available are few, and in case of a severe case, evacuation must be done to Pokhara or Kathmandu. By traveling with a reputable company, you benefit from local knowledge and emergency support if needed. Overall, stay with the group and listen to your guides for a safe trek.

Transportation

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek begins and ends in Pokhara. Above The Himalaya arranges all local transport. You can fly from Kathmandu to Pokhara (25-minute flight) or take a tourist bus (5–7 hours). On Day 1, you will take a jeep or bus from Pokhara to Nayapul (45 km, about 1.5 hours). On Day 3, you will return by jeep or bus from Nayapul to Pokhara.

The roads are mountainous but generally in good condition. Inside the trail areas, there is no motor transport – trekking covers those parts. If you prefer extra comfort, private car hire can be arranged (at extra cost). In Pokhara, your luggage can be stored at the hotel while you trek. Make sure you arrive in Pokhara a day before trekking starts.

Travel Insurance for the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

Comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory for the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek. Make sure your policy covers high-altitude trekking and emergency helicopter evacuation. Medical coverage should include hospitals in Nepal. Provide a copy of your insurance details to Above The Himalaya before the trek.

If you do not already have coverage, purchase it before traveling. Keep your insurance documents (digital and printed) with you during the trek. Without adequate insurance, the trek cannot proceed for safety reasons. Having insurance ensures peace of mind in case of illness, injury, or unexpected changes during the short Ghorepani trek. It is essential for any Himalaya adventure.

Your Extra Expenses

Budget some extra cash for personal and optional items. On the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek, all meals specified in the itinerary are covered, but snacks, drinks, and extras are at your own cost. Drinks (tea, coffee, bottled water, alcohol) at lodges must be paid separately. There is usually a small fee for hot showers (if you want one) or Wi-Fi and phone charging.

Any hotel or meal costs in Pokhara or Kathmandu before/after the trek are not included. Porters carry a maximum of 15–20 kg; extra porter services require extra payment. It is customary to tip your guide and porter: plan about 5–10% of the trip cost for tips.

Carry additional cash (Nepalese rupees or USD) to cover these costs and any souvenirs in this short Ghorepani trek. There are ATMs in Pokhara, but always carry cash after reaching the trail.

Language & Communication

In Nepal, Nepali is the official language, though English is commonly used in the tourist cities. Your guide will be a fluent English speaker. In the mountain villages, local people may also speak Gurung or Magar languages. You don’t need to learn Nepali, but simple greetings (e.g., “Namaste” for hello, “Dhanyabad” for thank you) are appreciated.

Mobile phone service is limited on the Ghorepani poon hill trek for 3 days. Most small villages do not have reliable cell coverage. Lodges often offer Wi-Fi for a small fee in the evenings. If you need connectivity, you can buy a local SIM card in Pokhara (Telcos: Ncell, NTC) and use it where service is available. Generally, communication with your guide and team will suffice for route and safety.

Don’ts on this Trip

The following guidelines should be adhered to in order to make the short Ghorepani trek respectful and enjoyable to all. Never litter, and you should bring your trash with you. Avoid purchasing single-use plastic bottles; use a reusable water bottle. Feed of and do not disturb stray dogs or wildlife, since this may interfere with their natural behavior.

Do not go into local houses or temples without seeking permission, and also keep in mind to take your shoes off at the door. Having photos of individuals without prior permission, more so women, or when in religious practice, is discouraged. Reduce noise levels and do not play loud music in villages because mornings and evenings are special times of local family serenity.

During this season, do not smoke in teahouses or in the forested places, as this may cause in fire. Above all things, please always follow our guide. These few rules allow maintaining the trail clean, secure, and respectful to the visitors and the local communities.

Trip Extension

In case you have some spare time, you can extend your visit to a variety of places. Extra days in Pokhara, it is worth spending some entire days by the lakeside, or making reservations for certain activities such as paragliding or boat rides. In case of trekking, you might go as far as Ghorepani to Tadapani village or the Ghandruk village.

In reality, a lot of trekkers extend the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek with the 5-day Poon Hill or Annapurna Base Camp trek with additional days. Kathmandu outings, including a visit to temples or a trip to Everest scenic flights, are also common. Above The Himalaya will be able to organize these extras or a more detailed, tailor-made schedule. Ask your guide or agent about optional extensions that will fit your schedule.

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek Photography & Drone Rules

The trek offers excellent photo opportunities. You are welcome to take pictures of landscapes, lodges, and villagers if they consent. Always ask before photographing people or entering places of worship. Drones are subject to strict regulations in Nepal. Flying a drone requires government permits from the Civil Aviation Authority and the conservation department.

In the case of the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, the idea of using drones is usually not recommended unless you find permission much earlier on. Fines may be imposed on unlicensed drone flights. We suggest using your camera or smartphone to take snapshots and not to intrude on the privacy of other people.

Cultural Festivals on the Trail

Nepal has rich cultural festivals that you may experience. If your Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek falls in autumn, villages celebrate Dashain and Tihar (September–November) with gatherings and special foods. Dashain (the largest festival) often involves family feasts, although celebrations in small villages may be low-key. Springtime brings Holi (festival of colors) around March, which locals celebrate with joy.

The Magar and Gurung communities also have their own festivals, like Sonam Losar (New Year) in January/February. During these times, you may see villagers in traditional dress or observe prayer rituals. Participating respectfully in local festivals – even by simply joining a community meal – can be a memorable cultural experience.

Tips for First-Time Visitors

Some preparation in advance will be helpful in the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek. Begin training (hiking, stair climbing, cardio) a few weeks prior to the trek so that the body develops endurance. Packs: a warm jacket, wool hat, and gloves in cold mornings, and a rainproof shell in wet weather. Break in the hiking boots prior to the trip.

Always carry at least 2 liters of water in your daypack and frequently hydrate yourself. Carry a reusable water bottle and purification pills. Bring along some Nepalese rupees (or small US dollars) to use in villages and tipping. Be respectful of local culture: greet people with a Namaste (palms together) and take off shoes before going into lodges.

Take a tour on the advice of your guide on pacing and acclimatization. We suggest carrying hand sanitizer and toilet paper, because on the trail, supplies may be minimal. Believe in your local guide, and have fun – if you are properly prepared and open-minded, then your Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek will certainly be safe and memorable.

 Verified Thank you for the best tour we have ever had! I planned to stay at the Everest View Hotel this time and travel there because I wanted to see Everest, the highest mountain in the world, slowly, but despite the short schedule due to my children's school, all I got was a response that it was difficult to contact several tour companies. The Himaraya Trekking, Above, has worked out a smooth and safe schedule and had the best experience for me and my family. I will never forget the view of Mount Everest. Thank you very much.

 Verified Another Amazing Trip with Above the Himalaya This is my 3rd trip with Above the Himalaya and Puru. Each trip with Puru has exceeded expectation with the quality of the guides, porters and attention to detail. We were a team of 5 trekker and our ages were all above 67 years of age with the oldest being 73. We are all experienced hikers and trekker and our plan was to trek up the Khumbu Valley to the Cho La pass to Gokyo to the Renjo La pass to return to Lukla. However, the weather altered our plans as Cyclone Montha blanketed the country in rain at lower elevations and significant snowfall at the upper elevations. Due to the weather, no one was trekking and everyone was staying put in their current location during the storm. All the passes were closed due to the deep snow. We were in Namche when the storm was blanketing the country.This is where Above the Himalaya really shines is in the ability to adapt to the changing conditions and our safety. In conversation with our lead guide, we decided to alter our route to trek through the Gokyo valley to reach Gokyo and then do the Renjo La pass. Sitaram our lead guide and Dhurba our assistant guide was both attentive to the changing conditions and always kept a keen eye for how we were doing and feeling on the trek. The pacing was excellent as none of us had any hint of altitude sickness as we reached a maximum elevation of 5,365m.Having trekked and hiked all over the world with different tour companies, Puru’s company is simply the best. The communications, focus on safety, the guides and staff, the accommodations, and the food are all amazing. All you have to do is focus on the beauty of the mountains, enjoy the joyfulness of the Nepali people and have fun exploring the trails. I am planning my next trip with Puru for 2027 as there is no other trekking company to match Puru’s level of service.

 Verified Take a small step into the Himalayas I went with Above The Himalaya Trekking’s Everest View Hike in November 2025 and can only recommend with my whole heart!I had never visited Nepal or the Himalayas before and had a life long dream of seeing Mt Everest. I had though, hiked a lot in various parts of the world, but never above 2000 m, so I went with the five day Everest View Trek to take a small step and see how I would handle the altitude. From first enquiry about dates and various questions, to my arrival back from the trip, Puru has been an invaluable help, always standby on mail and WhatsApp, pulling strings and making things happen.Also big shout out to the amazing guide I was teamed with, Kamal, who did everything he could to answer all my curious questions about vegetation, animal life, Nepalese culture and everything in-between :) Kamal was the perfect gentleman, offering little treats and reminding me to take breaks, and all in all I felt very safe and in good hands all the time. He also had good banter and jokes, which lifted the spirit of even the hardest climb.It was cold most nights and mornings and even though the tea houses provided heavy blankets (and I could borrow extra) I was glad I had the sleeping bag with me, which I rented through Puru. But I could definitely have survived without and saved the space in my pack.In total, I’m very pleased I’ve got to experience this lovely country with Above the Himalaya Trekking and if I ever come back for the big leap into the mountains, I’ll chose Kamal and Puru all over again :)

 Verified Nepal trek-Gokyo Second trek with Above the Himalaya, this time to Gokyo and over Renjo La. Our lead and assistant guides (Sitaram and Dhurba) were excellent. Due to several days of rain at lower elevations and snow higher we needed to change our plans while in the midst of our trek. Above the Himalaya accomplished this smoothly and flawlessly, which ultimately resulted in a better experience. We’ll be back!

 Verified Great Experience and Friendly people. We had a great time with Above the Himalayas tour company in Oct. Ajay, the tour guide in Kathmandu is very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to a lot of places that we can experience local authentic daily life. Puru, the owner, arranged and organized our trip in such way that we really feel comfortable and enjoyable. We are specially impressed by his quick action and management skills. Our flight to Pokhara got cancelled due to bed weather. Within minutes, Puru was able to arrange a car and a driver to drive us to Pokhara! It saved out trip.

 Verified Glorious trekking experience - ABC We had the most wonderful experience doing the Annapurna Base Camp trek with our fabulous guide, Tanka, and porter, Ravi. The trek was glorious, despite some rainy days, and although we weren't sure we would get to see the peaks at ABC, the weather cleared just in time and we had an amazing sunrise there. What made the whole trip so special, though, were Tanka and Ravi, who remained cheerful at all times and went out of their way to make everything as good as it could be. This included setting a pace with regular breaks which made the walking completely manageable, modifying the itinerary so we could visit additional villages, getting up in the middle of the night to see if the sky would be clear for sunrise, and bringing a sense of ease and humour to all our interactions. We just loved the whole thing and are keen to return to Nepal for another trek. It was magical!

 Verified Above the Himalayas goes above and beyond expectations! From start to finish everything was perfect! Puru, the managing director, was always quick with his responses to my questions when I first contacted him about planning our trek, and he continued to check to see that everything was going well throughout.Our guide Tanka and porter Ravi were fantastic! Their friendly demeanor kept our experience lively and interesting the entire time and made sure that we were well taken care of. Even small details like Ravi coming in and double checking our rooms to see that we had left nothing behind before leaving each morning, and seeing that meals were prepared the way we liked them weren't overlooked. Tanka was also quite knowledgeable about the mountains, the people, and just about everything "Nepal". He enthusiastically shared stories about his family and Nepalese life in a general way.Although there was a clear itinerary each day, and for the whole trek, Tanka allowed for flexibility in terms of time and where to stay. He was even willing and able to make changes to same-day accommodation based on how far we anticipated hiking that morning. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our hike and I would definitely recommend Above the Himalayas for anyone considering a trek.

 Verified Everest Base Camp Trek My friends and I just completed the EBC trek. From the time I met Puru at the Canada Place trade show in Vancouver BC, Canada I felt comfortable going to Nepal. His communications via WhatsApp were seamless answering all our questions. Everything went exactly according to plan. Our guide Suresh was amazing. He took very good care of us the whole time. From guiding us to making sure we had everything we needed to be happy. The food the whole way up and back was amazing! 5 ⭐️. Our 2 porters were great as well. I have a whole new respect and appreciation for what they do. They are the true hero’s to what we can do as a team. We chose the basic trek the lodging was to be expected. If I was to do again I would choose the luxury trek. The hotels in Kathmandu at the Hotel Aloft and the Hotel Lo Mustang were top notch as well as the buffets. Highly recommend this local company!

 Verified Great tour, would recommend! My friend and I completed the 10 day Annapurna circuit with Above Trekking Himalaya. Buddha our porter was a little mountain goat, pocket rocket. When I got altitude sickness he carried my bag, as well as mine and my friend’s big pack. He was friendly and loved to played cards with us, always with a cheeky smile on his face. Sitaram our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and quite serious. He was always available if we had any questions and went above and beyond to try get us the best/quietest rooms in the tea houses. Puru was fabulous working behind the scenes to ensure our trip was as smooth as possible. He was very quick to respond to any messages. It was a great experience to see Nepal with some locals and I certainly appreciated their support when I succumbed to altitude sickness. They stayed close to us the whole time and checked in frequently making us feeling safe and supported the entire time.
