So, before you get the elevation 3210m from Ghorepani ( after one hour hiking), you pass through Kathmandu, Pokhara, Ulleri, Banthanti, Nangethanti and Ghorepani. The elevation variations in Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek before getting to Poon Hill is 1350m-910m-2050-2860m-3210m.

After you conquer over Poon Hill, you will go to Tadapani which is located at an elevation of 2630m and then to Ghandruk village with the elevation 1900m before you return back to Pokhara(910m).

The second highest elevation of Poon Hill Trek is 2800m which is Ghorepani village. If you do Poon Hill Circuit Trek, then, Deurali is as high as Poon Hill. Tadapani is 2700m and Ghandruk is 1900m.

While ascending from Nayapool and Tikhedhunga, you will pass Ulleri and Banthanti which are located at the elevations of 2100m and 2300m respectively. Before Ghorepani Village( 2800m), you will walk past Nangethanti which is 2600m high.

Poon Hill is the best 3-day trek in Nepal. Because it offers you views, culture, and nature. Moreover, it starts close to Pokhara. The path passes through villages like Ulleri and Ghorepani. For example, Ghorepani is at 2,874 meters. Similarly, Poon Hill view point is at 3,210 meters. From there, see Annapurna I (8,091m) and Nilgiri (7,061m). In fact, the trail has tea houses and food. In comparison to isolated treks, it has easier access. Therefore, beginners also enjoy it. On the whole, it offers high returns in a short duration. Overall, it's scenic, short, and memorable.

The minimum time to do the trek is 2 days. But it has to drive early mornings. For example, drive from Pokhara to Ulleri first. Then hike to Ghorepani (2,874m) on the same day. Leave early the next day and reach Poon Hill (3,210m). Since it's a close itinerary, get ready for long walks. Actually, walk 6–8 hours every day. Similarly, trek down to Nayapul on day two. Unlike longer treks, there is no rest in it. Moreover, there must be good weather. In short, a 2-day itinerary is possible but physically demanding.

The final height of the hike is Poon Hill itself. It's 3,210 meters. But there are ridges nearby with similar views. Take Gurung Hill, for example, that also offers sunrise views. Observe Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and Annapurna South (7,219m) from Poon Hill. Besides, it's a highly popular sunrise viewpoint. Trekkers usually start at 4 a.m. for sunrise. The trail is a short but steep one. Actually, it takes less than an hour from Ghorepani. Unlike other treks, altitude is not as risky. Therefore, most trekkers simply reach the top. In summary, Poon Hill (3,210m) is the highest point of the trek.

Yes, the Poon Hill Trek can be undertaken by beginners with average fitness. The trail is nicely marked and safe. Nevertheless, there are steep parts. For example, Ulleri has nearly 3,000 stone steps. Walking time in a day is 5 to 6 hours. The maximum elevation, that is, Poon Hill is 3,210 meters. The elevation here is moderate and less prone to cause sickness. Besides, teahouses provide meals and rest along the way. Most families and first-time trekkers find it quite easy to do the trek. Freshmen may therefore perform this trek comfortably if well equipped. To sum up, Poon Hill Trek is simple for beginners and rewarding.

Yes, it is possible to combine the Poon Hill Trek with the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek. Poon Hill stands at 3,210 meters and ABC at 4,130 meters. Generally, the trekker starts from Nayapul and treks to Ghorepani to view sunrise at Poon Hill. They then continue to Tadapani, Chhomrong, and finally to Annapurna Base Camp. The entire trek would be taken for 9 to 12 days. The trails are long and steep but are rewarded with breathtaking views of Annapurna I (8,091m) and Machhapuchhre (6,993m). Besides, height gain is incremental, allowing acclimatization. In short, the union of the two treks provides an epic Himalayan adventure.

We hike about 35 to 40 kilometers one way from Nayapul to Ghorepani. We know there are several villages like Tikhedhunga, Ulleri, and Banthanti through their villages. Gradual climb is there, especially at Ulleri, with several stone steps. Daytimed walks are different, usually between 8 and 12 kilometers. The path is through forest roads and tiny streams. As a result of an increase in altitude, trekkers should acclimatize for moderate physical activity levels. Furthermore, the trail offers good views of Annapurna South (7,219m) and surrounding peaks. All in all, the trek to Ghorepani is moderate in terms of distance but challenging in parts due to elevation gain.

The food quality on the Poon Hill trek is good but basic. Dal bhat, noodles, and momos are common local Nepali food available in most teahouses. Further, fresh fruits and vegetables can be rare in remote settlements. The cost increases with the altitude because of transportation expenses. Nevertheless, the hygiene differs from place to place. Some lodges provide clean water and kitchens, while others can be rudimentary. Hot food and tea are usually served during the day. In summary, the food is delicious and filling but expect plain food and occasional lack of choice.

Yes, travel and medical insurance is mandatory for the Poon Hill trek. It covers any emergencies like accidents, illness, or helicopter evacuation. For example, altitude sickness or injury might happen at a time when you least expect it. Moreover, helicopter rescue is expensive without insurance. Some trekking agencies and permits request proof of insurance. Similarly, insurance brings peace of mind during your adventure. Also, it takes care of lost baggage or trip cancellation. Therefore, before going on the trek, buy insurance that provides coverage for high-altitude trekking and emergency evacuation. Finally, insurance protects you financially and physically on the trail.

They then hike back to Nayapul by day five. Daily hiking ranges from 4 to 7 hours depending on physical strength. But others complete it earlier in 3 days, though with longer walks. Steep sections and rock steps are present on the trail. Therefore, planning for 4 to 5 days is ideal for a leisurely walk. Overall, the duration of the trek suits most hikers well.

In short, look at the permit charges as an investment in conservation and security for which a refund is not feasible under any condition of change in your trekking schedule.

Yes, it is possible to get permits on the same day before starting the trek. Pokhara and Kathmandu offices usually provide ACAP and TIMS permits within hours.

Yes, you can extend your ACAP permit if you're going to spend more time on the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek. Visit the ACAP office in Pokhara or Kathmandu prior to your permit's expiration date. However, the TIMS card usually cannot be extended. Extensions are rare for short treks but can be accomplished if you would like to spend more time in surrounding areas. Annapurna South (7,219m) views remain the same, but the extension allows more time for acclimatization. Therefore, plan ahead to avoid overstaying with expired permits. To sum up, extensions are possible but require prior approval.

A water-repellent outer shell protects from wind and rain. Lightweight trekking pants and a thermal top are convenient. Gloves, a warm hat, and sunglasses are useful for cold mornings. Avoid cotton since it takes time to dry. Two pairs of trekking socks are enough. One evening set makes you comfortable in tea houses. Comfortable sleepwear is convenient. Quick-drying underwear is a must. Pack sensibly but lightly for the Poon Hill Trek.

It needs to be comfortable, distributing weight evenly. If you’re hiring a porter, a duffel bag is ideal. Duffel bags are spacious and easy for porters to carry. Use a waterproof cover or inner liner for both options. Organization is important, so use packing cubes or dry bags. Lightweight and durable materials help in rough terrain. Ultimately, choose based on your support plan. Either way, pack smart for the Poon Hill Trek.

Carrying a sleeping bag on the Poon Hill Trek is a good idea, especially during winter. The tea houses have blankets primarily, which vary in quality.

You will sleep more comfortably with your own gear. During autumn and spring, it gets cooler at night, especially before sunrise treks. Liners are added for warmth. If you do not mind lugging extra baggage, ask your guide to provide bag rentals. Remaining warm and rested makes all the difference for the Poon Hill Trek.
