Best Time to Trek in Ghorepani and Poon Hill

The Annapurna foothills route can be trekked year-round, but the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to January) seasons offer the best conditions:

Autumn (September - November): Widely considered the best time. The weather is generally stable, with clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and excellent mountain views. Trails are not dusty, and the nights are clear for stargazing. 

Spring (March - May): Another excellent period. You'll witness blooming rhododendrons completely around the widely spread forests and other wildflowers, with pleasant temperatures and good visibility. 

Winter (December - February): It is possible for trekking around this area. There will be clear skies, good visibility and less trekkers. Warm gears is necessary for the Morning and for the night.

Monsoon (June-August): We do not recommend this trek due to heavy rainfall, muddy and slippery trails, leeches in the grasses, river streams will be flooded, limited visibility, and the risk of landslides.  Also can be stocked the road by a landslide.

Itinerary

Upon arrival at the international airport, we will greet you with a marigold flower garland and drive to your hotel. Overnight at the hotel in Kathmandu on a B & B&B basis.

Travel from Kathmandu to Pokhara by overland drive or airplane, staying overnight at a Hotel on a B&B planning basis.

After breakfast at the hotel, we drive a private reserve Jeep to Banthanti. The road to Birethanti is simply good, but it then starts a rough, tough road in the hills. So we need a 4x4 wheel Jeep till we arrive at Banthati. Occasionally, Jeep drives a bit further while the road condition is ok, otherwise we must start trekking from Banthati. The trek is about 3 hours through the rhododendron forested trail to Ghorepani (2800 m). Overnight at a comfortable place with beautiful views at Ghorepani.

Poonhill
Springtime at Poonhill

We must start climbing to Pun Hill, the dominating viewpoint, early in the morning for the beautiful Sunrise. You need to carry a flashlight for walking in the dark, as it takes about 45 minutes to get to the viewpoint. Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Annapurna I, and Mt Manaslu above 8000 m. Mountains are visible, including holy Fishtail, Gurja, Thapa Peak, Tilicho Peak, Nilgiri Peak, Annapurna South, Himchuli, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Annapurna II, Lamjung Himal, and Ganesh Himal ranges. The mind-blowing panoramic view of the beautiful landscape with the Kaligandaki Valley and Pokhara Valley makes the hike very beneficial. Descend to the hotel for breakfast and follow the trail along the hilly ridge with a full package of beautiful scenic trails through the alpine rhododendron forest to Deurali. Leave the classic trail at Deurali and follow a hidden path hike through a deep Himalayan forest trail up to the hill. There is steep climbing in some parts of the trail until you get up to the barren alpine yak pasture field. The trail gradually inclines along the barren grassy field and finally reaches a huge yak pasture shelter, then descends a while to Dobato for overnight.

 

MuldheMuldhe is another dominant viewpoint in this region.  It offers magical natural views because of the Poonhill viewpoint. The Sunrise is recommended for Poonhill, then Muldhe, but for the Himalayas and nature are best from Muldhe. The viewpoint is not far from the lodge, descend to the lodge for breakfast, and scale your trek to Tadapani through the beautiful and peaceful alpine forest. You often see different kinds of animals, birds, and groups of Langurs in this area. Finally, you arrive at a little hamlet surrounded by beautiful mountains and forest views is called Tadapani. Overnight at the nice lodge.

The trail is quite interesting and enjoyable through the dense rhododendron forests. Short steep staircases descend to a stream, then a continuous gentle descent to Ghandruk village. Ghadruk is popular for Gurung culture and traditions as well as for Gurkhas. We arrive here for lunch, and the Gurung Museum is a well-recommended site to visit, except for its modern bakery and coffee bars. After lunch, we take a private Jeep drive to Pokhara.  During the Drive, you will cross several picturesque landscapes and terraced fields until Pokhara. Check in at the hotel and free time in Pokhara city.
