Ghorepani Poon Hill trekking is one of the easiest trekking routes in Annapurna Region. The trail takes you through the beautiful Modi khola valley up to Poon Hill, in the Annapurna massif. Poon Hill is a view point to see the Annapurna peaks, including Machhapuchhare (Mt. Fishtail), Mt. Dhaulagiri to the north and the other southern valleys. The region is inhabited by Gurung and Magar, both ethnic groups of Nepal. While descending on the way back to Pokhara, we pass through the stone paved courtyards of Ghandruk, a Gurung village, and there we can experience their old tradition and culture; you can witness in the Gurung Museum their living style.
The trek starts from Pokhara and you can see the beautiful rhododendrons (Nepal’s national flower) forests, green hills, lovely views on Mt. Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri North and South, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna, FishTail Mountain, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, II, III, IV Mardi Himal and Lamjung Himal.
