    Ghorepani-Poon Hill Trekking - 9 days

    Recommendation for Chandra Subba

    My name is Kazik Pichlak. I am a medical doctor, general and oncologic surgeon, with the passion for exploring  all possible  mountains in the world, but particularly Himalaya. In Nepal,   I have been 16 times.
    I cooperate with Mr Chandra and his agency Himalayan Icefall Trekking for many years. He arranged for me and my friends 10 trekkings to different parts of Himalaya and Tibet. Some of them  were standard trekkings, but some were very challenging to remote parts of Himalaya or, for example, with the passes above 6000 metres. All of these were always under the wing of Chandra agency.
    Twice I had serious health problems. Mr Chandra organized very effective help immediately – evacuation from mountain area by helicopter.
    All our trekkings were arranged perfectly. Mr Chandra and his agency’s team are the experts in leading excellent, unforgettable Himalaya trips.
    I recommend with all my heart Mr Chandra’s agency. He and his team guarantee the best service when exploring Himalaya.

    Ghorepani poon hill (3210m) trek is one of the most beautiful and amazing treks in the Annapurna region, which lies northeast part from Pokhara city. Poon hill trek is a short and easy trek, which offers magnificent panoramic views of West Himalayan ranges. Mountains like Mount Dhaulagiri (8167m; seventh highest mountain in the world), Mount Annapurna I (8091m; Tenth highest mountain in the world) Mount Fishtail (6993m), Huinchuli (6441m), Mount Gangapurna (7455m), and Mount Nilgiri (7061m) are the major mountains which are seen very closely from an elevation of 3210m of Poonhill. Poon hill trek route is not only famous or the splendid view of mountains, it is equally beautiful from the Nepalese Gurung and Magar Community culture and hospitality. Our trek starts from the small village of Kimche after driving 2 hours from Pokhara city. From Kimche we will start trekking towards the beautiful village of Ghandruk, famous for their Gurung culture, and hospitality, then From Ghandruk we will trek towards Poon hill via Beautiful Rhododendron forest rich in various species of flora and fauna, Tadapani- Ghorepani and finally to Poonhill.  The villages of Ghandruk, Tadapani are also known as the villages of famous Gurkha army, who are known to be one of the bravest and fearless soldiers. The best part of Poon hill trek is to view early morning sunrise from poon hill, where the sunlight makes the mountains glow and looks breathtaking from its tower, Poon hill provides the splendid 180-degree view of Panoramic Himalayan ranges and it is worth trekking up to Poon Hill.
    Ghorepani Poon hill trek is the best suitable trekking for every age group trekkers, where each day 4-5 hours trekking is sufficient and don't have to exceed over 3210 meters which is also the poon hill height; therefore, there are very fewer chances of altitude sickness. Poon hill trek route is the best option for those who really like the nature, landscapes, mountains, rivers, high waterfalls, hot water spring and hence you can make your Poon hill trek a memory of life time experience. The most suitable time to trek Poon hill is during the months of March- April- May and during the months of September- October, and November
