Why Poon Hill + Jhinu Danda Hot Springs Trek?

3. An ideal blend of manageable challenge and ease of access
Easily doable by even the first time trekkers and novice hikers, this trek is rated from easy to moderate. You gain the full Himalayan experience-stone staircases, blooming rhododendrons and viewpoints from dizzying heights-without the harsh climate, debilitating altitude, or time commitments required for treks such as Annapurna Base Camp or Everest Base Camp.

This route will take you through charming Gurung villages such as Tadapani, Ghorepani, Banthanti and Kimrung Danda. Experience generous local hospitality, discover traditional stone houses, taste local fare, and learn about the culture of the area-the trek is just as much about the people as it is about the mountains.

5. Breathtaking rhododendron forests and ever-changing landscapes
 Most picturesque in spring (March-May) the route is framed by radiant rhododendron blossoms. The surroundings change from sub tropical river basins to high alpine ranges, offering great diversity in flora, fauna, and visual opportunities.

6. A short but highly rewarding trip
This trek typically requires anywhere from 4 to 5 days, making it suitable for travelers who are on a tight schedule. In spite of the fact that the total length of the trek is only about 45 to 55 km, it includes truly outstanding mountain views, an exposure to a culture unfamiliar to most visitors, and the memorablehot spring soak.

7. Unbeatable value and far fewer crowds
When compared with popular treks such as the Annapurna Base Camp and Everest Base Camp trails, this one provides comparable mountain beauty at a much lower cost and with much greater accessibility. This is the undisputed " best bang for your buck" trek near Pokhara.

Trip Itinerary

Itinerary Overview - Poon Hill-Jhino Danda Hot Spring Trek !

The Poon Hill-Jhino Danda Hot Spring Trek offers magnificent views of the Himalayas, traditional Gurung-Magar settlements, lush rhododendron forests, and natural hot springs. The itinerary starts with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara and then to Nayapul/Birethanti. Trekkers follow enchanting trails leading to the traditional Gurung-Magar villages of Tikhedhunga, Ulleri, and Ghorepani.

The high point of the trek includes an early morning ascent to Poon Hill (3,210 m). It is famous for its incredible sunrise views of Annapurna I (8,091 m), Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Machhapuchhre (6,993 m), and many more. Following their stay at the viewing point, trekkers hike down through lush rhododendron forests to Tadapani and the largest Gurung village of Ghandruk.

Finally, trekkers reach Jhino Danda (1,780 m), which is a small village located near natural hot springs by the Modi Khola River. After days of rigorous treks, soaking in the mineral-rich waters is very relaxing for the weary legs of the trekkers. Trekkers return to Siwai/Nayapul after their bath and then make their way to Pokhara. This easy and short trek is recommended for families, beginners, and those who want to experience both mountain views and culture.

Here, your trekking to Poon Hill and Jhino Hot Spring begins in the early morning with a picturesque 3-hour 4WD jeep drive from Pokhara (820m) to Ulleri (2,050m), a distance of about 45km. Initially, the road is smooth and sealed all the way to Nayapul and Birethanti, but it soon turns into rough, winding dirt road as it winds through green river valleys and terraced hills. Driving all the way to colorful Ulleri means that you can avoid the excruciating climb of 3,000 stone steps required on the classic Tikhedhunga trail and conserve energy for trekking up the mountain.

Upon arrival at Ulleri, you swap jeeps for your walking boots, embarking on the day’s trek, a moderately challenging hike of 8 to 9km that leads to beautiful Ghorepani (2,874m). The trail ascends consistently and without let-up, with an elevation gain of 824m spread across the 4 to 5 hour journey. As you walk, the dusty, relatively well-trodden path winds through vibrant and deep rhododendron and oak forests, with the frequent sight of picturesque waterfalls, babbling brooks and alpine pastures to lift your spirits. With every few hundred meters you gain on your way up to Banthanti and Nangge Thanti, the cool mountain air bites a bit more fiercely and occasional, glorious views of Annapurna South (7,219m) and Hiunchuli (6,441m) appear through the rich vegetation.

Finally, you emerge from the woods and into the charming blue-roofed village of Ghorepani, which is the starting point for the famous sunrise trip up to Poon Hill. You walk past lower Ghorepani village and arrive at main Ghorepani village.

Here, as you settle into the mountain teahouse, you’re rewarded immediately with outstanding panoramic views of both the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs and, after warming your toes by the stove and enjoying a tasty dinner, can recharge for an early start and another breathtaking panorama in the morning.

After a generous amount of time and photo opportunities, you return to Ghode Pani for a nourishing, warm breakfast before packing and heading out for the main part of the days trekking toward Tadapani (2,630m) the next day. This part of the trek is a challenging 9-10 kilometers, and usually takes between 5-6 hours. It begins with a steep ascent from the village up to the scenic ridge of Deurali pass, (3,090m) at which point you have close-up views of the peaks that you have been watching since dawn.

Leaving this high altitude ridge you head down a steep descent into a beautiful gorge and deep Rhododendron and Oak forests where there is a prevalence of moss and an overall damp feel.

Wake up for an unforgettable sunrise view from Tadapani (2,630m) before setting off on a spectacular 5-6 hour trek to the riverside settlement of Jhinu Danda (1,780m). Covering between 9-10km and an overall 850m descent, the route begins steep and downwards through mossy, vibrant rhododendron, oak and bamboo forests, alive with local bird song and tumbling waterfalls. After the forested descent, the route opens up into well sculpted, terraced crop fields and hillside village of Chuile.

After crossing the raging Kimrong Khola by sturdy suspension bridge, you then face a short and steep ascent to the settlements of Gurjung and Taulung – local villages with plenty of cultural interaction and local hospitality. The path re-joins the main Annapurna Base Camp trail after the villages, and the steady, meandering descent takes you smoothly down to the village of Jhinu Danda.

Here, the true highlight of the day is just a 20-30 minute descent down the hillside from the main village. Down by the river at the banks of the raging Modi Khola river lies the most luxurious natural riverside hot springs, situated at the very edge of dense jungle. Relaxing in these hot thermal waters is a well-deserved treat, perfectly targeting and soothing aching legs after several days trekking. You'll then ascend back to your teahouse at Jhinu Danda.

This dramatically extends across the tumultuous Modi Khola and its incredible views of the river far below.

Upon exiting the bridge and arriving at your jeep station in or near Matque/Samrung will mark the end of your journey on foot. You will board a private 4WD jeep drive for the exciting and scenic drive back to Pokhara (820m). The journey covers approximately 40kms and takes around 3-4 hours depending on road and traffic.

Actually, the beginning of the drive follows a bumpy and somewhat rugged dirt road, which winds along the side of river cliffs and through villages with a last view of the fertile, terraced hillsides before connecting to a more developed road from Nayapul and Birethanti and continuing on to the clean asphalt road to Pokhara. As you reach the shores of Pokhara lake side and enjoy entire afternoon and evening with the activities you like in Pokhara.

Personally, what like most about Poon Hill-Jhino Danda Hot Spring Trek is ascending and stepping at the top of Poonhill and capturing giant Annapurna Massif, alluring Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Gangapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal and massive Dhaulagiri with stunning sunrise early in the morning.

Moreover, trekkers will find Pokhara city as paradise for relaxation and refreshment. If the trekkers want, they can enjoy massage and spa at Ghorepani village and do relaxing meditation and yoga at the top of Poonhill. Performing yoga and meditation directly facing towards snow-covered mountain peaks will be breathtaking experience in Poon Hill-Jhino Danda Hot Spring Trek. 

How much should I Tip for Guide and Porter ?

Tipping for your guide and porter is not mandatory in Poon Hill-Jhino Danda Hot Spring Trek but they expect something extra from you after they work hard for you. Isn’t it?
