Ghorepani, Poon Hill, Ghandruk and Chitwan, Ghorepani, Poon Hill Trekking

Trip Overview

Family tours surround Kathmandu, Pokhara, trek to Ghorepani and Chitwan jungle safari

This is one of the most dramatic low altitude treks in the Annapurna region, journeying mainly away from busy tourist routes. We start the trek in Nayapul to Birethanti after the drive from Pokhara, “valley of panorama”, follow the north of Modi Khola valley and climb the ridge to Tirkhedhunga. Throughout this trek, as we walk beneath the Annapurna ranges, the mountain views are spectacular. Here also is the unforgettably beautiful Machhapuchhre (6993m.) we considered by many to be the most entrancing peak of all. As we trek up the highest elevation of the trip (3232-4010m.) encounter working in the rice fields.

The mountain of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri continue to reveal their beauty and below is the deepest gorge on the earth’s surface, Kaligandaki. As we return to Pokhara from Poon Hill, we leave the crowded trekking trails and travel through magnificent rhododendron and oak forests. The people we meet are friendly and unaffected. No one can fail to be impressed by the diversity highlighted on this adventure. The snow-covered peaks of the Annapurna Himalayas, day sightseeing around Kathmandu, Pokhara, and an elephant-back safari in the jungle offer a taste of Nepal's remarkable pleasures.
