About this spot
The Ghorepani–Poon Hill trek combines stone steps, forest and a sunrise viewpoint above the village. This six-day plan travels through Pokhara and returns via Tadapani and Ghandruk.
Suggested Kathmandu-return plan:
Day 1 — Kathmandu to Pokhara.
Day 2 — Drive to the usable Hile/Tikhedhunga roadhead; walk to Ulleri.
Day 3 — Ulleri to Ghorepani.
Day 4 — Climb Poon Hill, about 3,210 m; continue to Tadapani.
Day 5 — Walk through Ghandruk; return to Pokhara by road.
Day 6 — Pokhara to Kathmandu.
Moderate, with substantial stair climbing. Allow a spare day for road delays. March–May and October–November are usual seasons; sunrise views still depend on cloud. Carry a torch and warm layers for the early viewpoint climb, and confirm local viewpoint fees as well as conservation-area permits.
Keep the acclimatization stops. Do not climb higher with altitude-sickness symptoms; worsening symptoms require descent and medical help. Confirm permits and guide requirements for your nationality.
