Tour Overview
Ghorepani Poonhill Trek is a trek in every traveler’s bucket list . This circuit takes you around the Annapurna region with spectacular views of Annapurna range, Hiunchuli (6441m), Dhaulagiri (8167m), and Machhapuchhre (6997m). Expect to be mesmerized by the ethnic villages of Ghandruk and Ghorepani, as you take on this breathtaking trek through the valleys, crossing passes and spending nights at remote settings. This trek will be a journey into the heart of Himalayan culture as you enjoy the warm hospitality of indigenous communities and gather a worthwhile experience. Welcome to the real heaven on Earth. While treks in the Himalayan region can be challenging, this 10-day trek is suitable for all age groups as long as you can take on steep terrains and frosty conditions. Arriving in Kathmandu, you begin with a tour of the valley and neighboring town of Lalitpur. A day in the valley does not suffice for its many attractions, however, we make do as we visit some of the UNESCO listed World Heritage sites. The following day we leave for Pokhara, a legendary tourist town southwest of Kathmandu, before starting our trek at Nayapul. The next 6 days ensues an enthralling journey into the hills, lush green and laden with wild flora and fauna, as we take on strenuous climb along rocky trails and challenge ourselves to resist the scintillating beauty unraveling in front of our eyes. Ghorepani Poonhill, a stop in your itinerary, will be the ultimate viewpoint with the views of Annapurna south (7219m), Hiunchuli (6441m), and Machhapuchhre (6997m) along with 360° views of surrounding valleys. During the course of this trek, you’ll pass through Ghorepani, Tadapani, Ulleri, and Ghandruk village. Ghandruk is a predominantly Gurung settlement and has a picturesque setting that is mostly depicted in promotional movies and pictures. Be prepared to alter your perspective of remote life as you take on this beautiful trek. This trek can be undertaken any time of the year barring the monsoon (June to August) for the trails can turn dangerous. With a history of providing finest services to our customers, Corporate Adventure Treks is proud to introduce this trek and offer their services to prospective customers from Nepal and abroad. Provide us the opportunity to guide you through one of the best trekking trails on Earth with our experienced staffs who ensure safety and a worthwhile experience.
