Ghorepani Poonhill Trek - 2 Days
Ghorepani Poonhill Trek 2 Days Overview
The Ghorepani Poonhill Trek – 2 Days is a condensed version of the classic Poon Hill trek, designed for adventurers who are short on time but still want to experience the magic of the Annapurna region. In just two days, you will hike through rhododendron forests, traditional Gurung villages, and reach the famous Poon Hill viewpoint (3,210m) for an unforgettable sunrise over Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre.
Starting with a scenic drive from Pokhara to Ulleri, the trail ascends through stone steps and forested paths to Ghorepani. After an overnight stay in a cozy teahouse, an early morning hike rewards you with one of the most spectacular mountain panoramas in the Himalayas. The trek then descends back to the roadhead for the return drive to Pokhara.
This short trek is ideal for families, solo travelers, and first‑time trekkers with reasonable fitness. Global Nepal Treks takes care of all permits, accommodation, meals, and an experienced local guide, ensuring a hassle‑free and memorable Himalayan experience.
