The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is a 7-day adventure in Nepal’s Annapurna region, renowned for its stunning sunrise views from Poon Hill (3,210m/10,531ft) over peaks like Dhaulagiri (8,167m/26,794ft), Annapurna I (8,091m/26,545ft), and Machapuchare (6,993m/22,943ft). This short, moderate trek is ideal for beginners and families, offering a mix of lush forests, rhododendron blooms, and Gurung and Magar villages. With a maximum altitude of 3,210m, it’s less strenuous than other high-altitude treks and requires no prior trekking experience. The trail showcases diverse landscapes, from terraced fields to alpine meadows, and immerses trekkers in Nepal’s rich cultural heritage.
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer clear skies, mild temperatures, and vibrant scenery. March–May brings blooming rhododendrons, while September–November provides crisp views. Winter (December–February) is colder but less crowded, and monsoon season (June–August) is wet and risky due to landslides.
The trek is moderate, suitable for fit beginners. It involves 5–7 hours of daily walking, with a maximum altitude of 4,130m (13,550ft). Steep ascents, descents, and stone steps require good stamina, but no technical climbing is needed. Altitude sickness is a minor risk, mitigated by gradual ascent.
