Itinerary
Short on time but eager to witness the Himalayas up close? The Ghorepani Poon Hill Sunrise Trek is a 7-day guided adventure tailored for young adults and experienced trekkers craving panoramic mountain views without the long commitment of the Everest or Annapurna circuits.
Starting with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara, you’ll begin your trek from Nayapul, journeying through charming villages to the iconic Ghorepani. The highlight comes with a sunrise ascent to Poon Hill (3,210m), where the entire Annapurna range glows in the morning light—perfect for unforgettable photos.
On your way back, unwind in the hot springs of Jhinu and return to Pokhara before heading back to Kathmandu. The tour’s unique selling point is its accessible yet dramatic trekking experience, complete with accommodation, transport, and guidance for a seamless Himalayan getaway.

Poonhill
I just completed a 4-day Poonhill trek, and it was absolutely amazing. The views from the top were stunning, worth every steps!. I found the countless stone stairs quite challenging for first time trekker like me, but the journey was unforgettable. Our guide Devi and porter Bishnu, always made sure that we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trek. Would love to come back to Nepal again for sure.
Fantastic
Poon Hill was amazing! However, couldn’t have done it without our guide and porter, Dev and Nima. They made us feel safe, made us notice things we might not have, they were extremely organized and most of all super friendly! Highly recommend.
Poon Hill Sunrise Trek
It was a great experience. The service was splendid with a super friendly and helpful guide
Fantastic Poon Hill 6 day trek
I completed the 6 day Poonhill trek with Dev as my guide and Amir as my porter. As I booked this trek alone, I wasn't sure whether others would join (they didn't, but it would have been better to know this when I asked Khum upon arriving in Kathmandu.) Travelling solo was fantastic: the organisation and itinerary worked brilliantly. Dev did a fantastic job at altering the itinerary based on what I wanted to see and he planned a fantastic route from Poonhill crossing glacier rivers, via hot springs and through beautiful villages. He was knowledgeable, friendly, chatty (but not too much!) and matched my walking pace well. Dev and Amir kept me company in the afternoon after finishing trekking for the day. We played cards, teaching each other different games. Dev came well prepared for the trek, providing me with snacks, fruit and a poncho that also went over my bag when it tipped it down. He had a superb knowledge of the route, warning me when up/down or "Nepali flat" was coming up. I would highly recommend Dev if you choose to trek with this company.
