Overview
Ghorepani Poon Hill daily Sightseeing Tour is a one-day package departing from Pokhara. This tour does not require trekking to reach Poon Hill; instead, transportation is provided via Jeep. We will drive to Ghorepani, from where a brief 40-minute walk will take you to the summit of Poon Hill. Renowned as one of the premier viewpoints in Nepal, Poon Hill offers breathtaking views of the sunrise and the majestic Dhaulagiri range, which rises above 8,000 meters, alongside the Annapurna range, Nilgiri Himal, and numerous other snow-capped peaks. From the summit, you can also observe the Kaligandaki gorge and the picturesque valley of Shikha village, historically significant for its association with the British Gorkha army, from which many soldiers were recruited. At Poon Hill, you will have the opportunity to enjoy tea or coffee while taking in the stunning scenery. You will spend approximately one hour at the top before descending back to Ghorepani, a charming village featuring comfortable accommodations. For those wishing to extend their stay, luxury hotels are available. In Ghorepani, we offer a delicious trekking breakfast, allowing you to savor traditional Nepali cuisine along the trekking route. After breakfast, you will have free time until the afternoon. At 4 PM, we will return to Pokhara for an overnight stay.

Day 1 :
Departure from Pokhara at 2.30 AM
Every day we leave from Pokhara at 2:30 Am and arrive to Ghorepani at 5:30 AM. Just we will get off from Jeep and start our short hike to Poon hill. The trail is all the way up and gradually steep. It takes about 40 minutes trek from Ghorepani to Poon hill. Due to shed of the trees it is dark in the early in the morning so bring head lamp or torch light. Most of the season early in morning it is cold so you can bring light down jackets in spring and Autumn seasons. But in winter season you need warm down jackets.
As you will have arrived to Poon hill you will take long breath with the views of Himalayas and sunrise.
