Ghorepani/Poon Hill Trek |
 |
This area,
north of Pokhara, called "Ghorepani" offers some
of the most dramatic close-up views of the
highest and most beautiful mountains in the
world. As the sun touches the snowcapped 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. This is a rewarding trek that
can be enjoyed by every lover of nature and
beautiful landscape. This is one of the lower
elevation treks that we offer rising to only
3200 m. The abrupt variation in altitude found
here is astonishing. From the Pokhara airstrip
(850m) the summit of Machhapuchhare (6997m) is
less than 30 km. This area is home to the Magars
and Gurungs (backbone of the famous Gorkha
regiments). The trek passes through rhododendron
and mixed forest alive with ferns and birds,
through spectacular villages of the Gurkha
soldiers with their spectacular Himalayan back
drops leads to Ghorapani 2834 m. The following
morning visits Poon Hill at (3210 m), a vantage
point to view the Dhaulagiri (8167 m) and the
Annapurna massif. The trek makes a small circuit
and visits Tadapani (2450 m), Ghandruk and
finally ends in Pokhara. |
