Short Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek - 5 Days

On this day, we will start our day with a ride from Pokhara to Tikhedhunga and then to Ghorepani. Early in the morning, after breakfast, we will drive towards Tikhedhunga. After a picturesque 1:30-hour drive, we will arrive at Nayapool. From Nayapul, we will travel across numerous streams and hillocks to reach Tikhedhunga (1,495m/4, 905ft). On the route to Ghorepani, a little village called Tikhedhunga has a variety of traditionally constructed tea houses that offer accommodation. Before reaching Ghorepani, we will first cross the suspension bridge, then ascend to Ulleri village, Banthati, and pass through the picturesque panoramic scenery and rich green forest, where you can view some wild creatures and a great variety of birds. We walk up the stone path all the way to Ghorepani as we depart Ulleri, a village with sparkling views, culture, and hospitality. Along the way, Annapurna is on our right, while a wildflower-filled forest and muddy, soggy hills are on our left. You may want to admire individuals who may have built the road as you travel, as it can seem like the stone steps are never-ending at times.

We travel to Poon-viewpoint Hill early in the morning (about 4 or 4:30) to get a wide-angle view of the dawn. From here, you may witness magnificent dawn. Looking at the sun rising on the Dhaulagiri Mountain Range, Annapurna Mountain Range, Lamjung Himal, Manaslu, Ganesh, and several other Himalayan ranges seems nothing less than magnificent, especially with people at a number of 200 or more, after an hour-long uphill walk in a cold breeze while sipping coffee or tea sold by a guy out there.

Following our enjoyment of the scenery, we return to the hotel for breakfast before continuing our ascent to Deaurali and descending to Banthanti, where we will cross a tiny bridge to arrive at Tadapani Village. Overnight in the Tadapani includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 

After an overnight in Tadapani, we headed north on the road as we reached Tadapani, although it was a downward slope. The route was well-known. rhododendrons, moss-covered tree trunks, and scarlet petals all over the ground. A few fallen trees here and there, the dew glistening in the morning light. We soon left the woodlands and entered farmland and grazing.

Afterwards, we continued down the Chomrong Pass, which runs along the edge of a steep slope, until we located "Green Hill," where we rested for lunch. The "Kadoorie" bridge was probably excessively high. At Taulung, the Chomrong Pass separates in two directions. Going left will take you to ABC and Chomrong; going right will take you to Jinhudanda and a severe fall. Our accommodations at the "Hot Spring Cottage and Restaurant" included a sizable room with a mountain view and a private toilet.

We arrived on the last day of our trek. The walk along the right side of Modi Khola after leaving the Jhinu Danda hot springs is the most tranquil of the entire expedition. We eventually arrive at Siwa/Ghandruk Phedi. Panoramas of the surrounding Annapurna range may be seen from Ghandruk, including good views of Annapurna I, the tenth-highest mountain in the world. Despite this, the settlement is only 2,000 m (6,562 ft) tall, so you can view snow-covered Himalayan peaks without having to hike at a high altitude. After saying goodbye to the trails, we return to Pokhara via a scenic drive across the countryside.

Early in the morning, after having our breakfast, we head towards Pokhara. The 200 km route offers a good view of the surrounding countryside and farming as it first follows the Marsyangdi River and then the Trishuli River. You will enter the Kathmandu Valley when the bus ascends one final hill.
