Highlights

Kick things off with an adventurous 4WD ride out of Pokhara. You’ll bounce along off-road tracks, passing through terraced farms, little villages, and rhododendron forests. No endless trekking—just hop in, relax, and let the jeep do the work all the way up to Ghorepani (2874m).
Forget the exhausting climbs. The route zips straight to Ghorepani via Nayapul, Ulleri (1960m), Banthanti (2250m), and Nangethanti (2460m). You save your energy for the good stuff—the views.
Rise before dawn for a short, one-hour hike up to Poon Hill. It’s just 336 meters of elevation, and you’ll feel that buzz of anticipation knowing what’s waiting at the top.
The sunrise here isn’t just pretty—it’s jaw-dropping. Watch the golden light spill over the giants: Annapurna I (8091m), Annapurna South (7219m), Machhapuchhre (Fishtail, 6993m). Honestly, you’ll run out of superlatives.
The panorama is unreal. You’re surrounded by more than a dozen Himalayan peaks—Dhaulagiri (8167m), Nilgiri (7061m), Hiunchuli (6441m), Gangapurna (7455m), Tukuche Peak (6920m), and more. It’s 360 degrees of wow.
Not much hiking involved, which is perfect if you’re traveling with kids, bringing your parents, or just short on time. The jeep does almost all the heavy lifting, and the sunrise walk is gentle.
Along the way, you’ll weave through Gurung and Magar villages, soaking up mountain culture and breathing in that crisp, pine-scented air. It’s a real taste of Nepal—nature, tradition, and all.
You get all the adventure, but none of the hassle. Head back to Pokhara the same day of the sunrise or linger a little longer. Either way, this tour packs the magic in, and you’ll have energy to spare for whatever comes next.

Here, you kick off your Poon Hill Sunrise Jeep Tour in Pokhara, down at 827 meters, and the excitement hits right away. A sturdy jeep picks you up—no need to rough it if you don’t want to. As you leave the city behind, the scenery gets wild: terraced fields, small villages, rolling hills. The road isn’t exactly a gentle stroll; it climbs fast, twisting through Ulleri and Banthanti as the air turns crisp and cool. Rhododendrons start popping up, and soon you’re winding your way toward Ghorepani at 2874 meters. Along the way, you get plenty of chances to stop, take photos, and just breathe it all in.

Likewise, you reach Ghorepani and settle into a cozy lodge for the night. The jeep drive from Pokhara to Ghorepani, depending on the road and your stops, takes three to five hours—way easier than the full Poon Hill trek, but with all the views. There’s time to rest, sip some local tea, and gear up for the main event.

Before dawn, you pull on your boots and head out for the final push: a one-hour hike up to Poon Hill at 3210 meters. The stars start to fade as you climb, and the anticipation builds. At the top, it’s nothing short of magic. Annapurna I, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre—these peaks light up in gold and pink as the sun rises. Hiunchuli, Gangapurna, Nilgiri, and Tukuche Peak join the show. If the weather’s on your side, clouds drift away and the whole range glows.

In fact, you soak it all in, snap a hundred photos, and maybe just stand there in awe. It’s one of those moments that sticks. After sunrise, you hike back down for a hearty breakfast, then hop in the jeep for the ride home—swapping stories, laughing with new friends, and feeling that good kind of tired.

Moreover, taking the jeep from Pokhara to Ghorepani skips the hardest trekking days, so you save your energy and open up time for more adventures. Local guides make the journey richer, pointing out sights and sharing stories you’d never find on your own.

If you want epic mountain views, a bit of off-road adventure, and a taste of Nepal’s wild beauty—without days of tough trekking—this is your trip. The Poon Hill Jeep Tour blends comfort, camaraderie, and pure Himalayan magic. Don’t miss it.

Ultimately, after the incredible sunrise and the Annapurna mountain views from Poon hill, you will walk down to Ghorepani and drive back to Pokhara via Lower Ghorepani, Nangethanti, Banthanti, Ulleri and Nayapool. You can relax in Pokhara in the late afternoon and evening.
