Frequently asked questions relating to this tour or destination.
Looking for a Himalayan adventure that’s as breathtaking as it is accessible? The Poonhill trek is crafted for seniors and families seeking a memorable journey through Nepal’s most iconic panoramas. Starting in Pokhara, this tour leads you along gentle trails through charming villages and lush forests, ascending gradually to a maximum altitude of 3,210 meters.
The trek’s highlight is the early morning ascent to Poonhill, where a spectacular sunrise reveals the entire Himalayan range in all its majesty, with Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and Annapurna I (8,091m) glowing in the morning light. Along the way, you’ll traverse the famed 3,000 stone steps to Ghorepani and wander through enchanting rhododendron forests, pausing to take in the dramatic views of Machapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Gangapurna.
This trek isn’t just about the scenery; it’s also about the experience. You’ll unwind in hot springs, explore inviting villages, and fly back to Pokhara after your adventure. The route is designed with comfort in mind, making it achievable for anyone with reasonable fitness and a love for the outdoors.
The unique selling point here is the combination of awe-inspiring mountain vistas and a route that remains accessible and enjoyable for seniors, families, and first-time trekkers alike. If you’re dreaming of Himalayan magic without strenuous demands, this is the trip for you.

Trekking with the local tour agency was excellent. it was well organized and the tea houses were already booked. They made the whole trek experience memorable
Amazing experience , many many Stairs /steps and fantastic view , and with some support and tenacity can be done by a 9 years old
Ghorepani poon hill is scenic trek. we had excellent time with the tour company and our guide .
We never hiked before, so we selected this one and it's a good introduction. A few hard parts (going up to Ulleri 400m on day one, all steps; combining poon hill with hike from Gorepani to Tadapani) but doable. Gorgeous nature and never too busy or congested. three remarks - on the hot springs on day four: these are two stone basins of about 3-4m by 9-10m and pretty crowded. It's more of a party atmosphere than a relaxing soak after a day's hike. Two of our group skipped it, me and another person went and thought it average. - The sunrise on poon hill is beautiful, but crowded, you're there with about 100+ trekkers. However, this was not bothersome. Other people decided to sleep in and went for the sunset and were equally happy. - as a novice, consider trekking poles or a bamboo stick for balance on the downhill parts, and a slight aid on the steeper uphill parts. I was very happy I brought them along.
