The top of Poon Hill is one of the best places to gaze at the Himalayas in Nepal. Trek to the summit and see how beautiful the big wall in the north looks from here. Poon Hill is a mountain of its own accord but is dwarfed in the presence of the Himalayan range. From the top of the hill, at an elevation of more than 10,000 feet, you can see the Annapurna massif together with adjacent peaks. So this trip combines both mountaineering and sightseeing. The beautiful villages and the pristine forests we walk through during the trip add to the experience. Altitude – From 4,600 feet at Kathmandu to 10,535 feet at Poon Hill Difficulty –There are four days of intense trekking in this trip. You will have to walk for five to six hours each day so you need to be fit. Light endurance training or previous hiking experience is recommended before embarking on this trip.

    The best trek we could have imagined

    My husband and I have recently completed the trek through mountain kick to poon hill. Upon arrival to Kathmandu airport we had come to realise our luggage was not on our flight. Kumar our trek leader was there to pick us up and called and spoke with the plane companies on several occasions for us organising them on the next available flight. From this moment on we knew that we had found someone special to take us on our trek of a lifetime, someone that really cared. Nothing on our trip was too much hassle for Kumar or his porter Tule. On our trek as well, Kumars knowledge of the mountains and local people meant that when we didnt see sunrise at Poon Hill as planned (monsoon season) he changed a couple of nights stay around which meant we ended up staying right under Annapurna south and getting a secret view of the mountains not many people seemed to know about. This is the benefit of going with a local guide over a big corporation they just know these things. At conclusion we have both made a friend for life and would recommend Mountain Kick again and again for anyone who wants to feel at home, at ease and really have the most hassle free special time in Nepal that is possible!! 11/10 thanks again Mountain Kick!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the review. Kumar for sure is the best when it comes to trekking in the part of the world. We are very happy that you had an amazing time. Hope to see you again. Namaste

    Ghorepani Poon hill Trek - 9 days: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does Ghorepani Poon hill Trek - 9 days cost?

    +

    Prices start at $756 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Ghorepani Poon hill Trek - 9 days take?

    +

    Plan for about 216 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.

    Is Ghorepani Poon hill Trek - 9 days worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ghorepani Poon hill Trek - 9 days?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Ghorepani Poon hill Trek - 9 days suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ghorepani Poon hill Trek - 9 days?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ghorepani Poon hill Trek - 9 days start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kathmandu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
