    1. Pokhara

      You should let us know about your arrival in Kathmandu, we will be there to pick you up from the Airport to your Hotel but our package only starts from the second day of your arrival. Our representative will come to your door, at your hotel at 6.30 am in Kathmandu, to receive you before we start the trip. The trip starts with a drive of around 6 to 7 hours through lush green forest, meandering road through the hills and gracefully flowing riverside. You will also come across lively markets and clusters of villages on the way. Buffet lunch will be taken in one of the roadside restaurants. Today, after we drive to Pokhara (200km), we will see good scenery of the majestic city. You can go boating in Fewa Lake(if we have enough time, as boating facility gets closed early), which overlooks the Annapurna Himalayan Range. In the evening, we prepare for the trek.

      540 minutes here

    2. On the second day of our trip, its a 2 Hours drive on a local bus/taxi from Hotel to Nayapul (1050m). From Nayapul we start our Poonhill panorama trek. Covering many picturesque views of the northern hilly region of Western Nepal we ascend through various alpine forests, bamboo forests, and grass and shrub-lands. Tonight, we stay over-night at Ulleri, a very beautiful and serene town with a folk culture that will provide you with experience along with its very refined hospitality.

    3. Ghorepani

      Early in the morning(at around 4 or 4:30), we head up to Poon-Hill, to a viewpoint to have a panoramic view of sunrise. You will be able to see mesmerizing sunrise from this place. After an hour up-hill walk in a cold breeze, sipping coffee/tea sold by a guy out there, looking at the Sun rising on Dhaulagiri Mountain Range, Annapurna Mountain Range, Lamjung Himal, Manaslu, Ganesh and several other Himalayan Ranges seems nothing less than magnificent, that with people at the number of 200 or more .

      480 minutes here

    4. Ghandruk

      Upon completion of the Poon Hill, we now descend back to Tadhapani along with the gorgeous panoramic experience. You have your next day to enjoy the beauty of Ghandruk.

    5. Pokhara

      Wake up, early, sunrise isn’t any less spectacular here than you see at Poon-Hill, with less crowd and cold breeze. After we enjoy a picturesque morning with a lovely breakfast at Tadhapani we now head towards our last destination but not any less, Ghandruk, before Pokhara. Ghandruk is much a cultural hub mingled with picturesque scenery in its background. You can enjoy several things like inside-home cultural museums, tiled roofs, people and their hospitality along with your lunch. Now it's only a 3-hour ride on a local bus from Ghandruk to Pokhara leaving several beautiful landscapes and clear-water rivers. Our package ends as we get to Pokhara today.

    Great experience

    It was a great trip! Beautiful views. It felt super safe as our guide planned everything and we just had to enjoy the trekking. Our guide Binod was super nice and great at hyping us up and spreading super good energy.

    Authentic trek with stunning views!

    Fantastic nice trip with a phenomenal view from Poon Hill. Our guide Binod was very responsive and we felt safe and in good hands from the start. From when we were received at the airport with flowers until we said goodbye, everything was well arranged. Accommodation was very authentic in tea houses/small hotels along the way. You get close to the families that run the sites. Everywhere we were welcomed well by cute smiling people, so we felt welcome. OBS: Important to take the package list for implicit. It’s cold in the mountains in February and the walls are thin, so earplugs are a good idea. The hike itself can be a little hard for the legs with many stairs (both up and down), but the surroundings are incredibly beautiful with rising streams, rododendron forest, giant bamboo and of course the Himalayas!

    Amazing experience with Binod

    First time in Nepal, but not the last for sure... Lovely trek and great guide (Binod) always caring for us. Really friendly and enjoying with us along the trek. It was the perfect combination of landscapes, people and challenging hike. 100% recommended for everyone! Namaste and धन्यवाद!

    Response from the operator: Our team hopes you had an awesome time in the mountains. Than you for your trust. We hope to see you again on your next trip to Nepal.

    Poon Hill trek

    I can’t recommend Shiva and his team highly enough. We thoroughly enjoyed our Poon Hill hike. It was a truly authentic experience. Although considered a relatively easy walk there were some challenges and our guide Bishnu ensured we took it at our pace. Even though we hiked in what is considered the off season and we were blessed with some fantastic weather it is worth considering doing this trek in summer. The waterfalls are magical and the fewer crowds made it a perfect time for us.

    Ghorepani Poonhill treks 5-days: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Ghorepani Poonhill treks 5-days cost?

    +

    Prices start at $600 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 Poonhill treks 5-days take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 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 Poonhill treks 5-days worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ghorepani Poonhill treks 5-days?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Ghorepani Poonhill treks 5-days suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ghorepani Poonhill treks 5-days?

    +

    Around 3 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ghorepani Poonhill treks 5-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 Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek. 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.
