The soft trek to Ghorepani Poonhill is full with scenic Himalayan views along the dense tropical vegetation and the best cultural display of Gurung ethnics which is specially designed for the families. The itinerary slots in enough time for cultural outlook in the traditional villages dominated by the brave British Gurkha Armies, Gurungs. Every campsite on the trek is full of life; trekkers can join the crew and the villagers in fun activities like dancing, singing and playing. The trial on the trek goes through the magnificent oak and rhododendron forests and slides up to alpine meadows that offer the feast to the eyes with the stunning views of the Annapurna Range. Poonhill, itself is the destination full of amazing things. The wide range of Mountain views including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Fishtail, Twache and many more from Poonhill are exceedingly beautiful during the sunrise.

Ms. Melanie Morillon from Denmark through our exclusive country partner Kipling Travel had to say few lines on Poonhill Trek she had with us this autumn.

Every moment I spent in Pokhara, the trial highlights on the trek to Poonhill and the cultural and natural aspects I got to see in Tadapani and Ghandruk are the best memories of this trip.

The operation of Explore Himalaya throughout the trip was excellent and the staffs and guides were very professional.

Poonhill trek in the Annapurna region is the best opted soft trek for the novices. Anyone, who can fairly walk can experience the beauties of rural Nepal during this trek. Pleasant walk through the rhododendron forests, overwhelming Gurung culture and mesmerizing hilly landscapes are the trial highlights of Poonhill Ghorepani Trek. The scenic views of Himalayas including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Twache and unique Fishtail during the sunrise and sunset is the primary highlight of the trek.

Recently, Kirchner family from Denmark through our exclusive country partner Kipling Travel had a wonderful trek to Poonhill. Kirchner family said few beautiful lines about their Poonhill Trek and services of Explore Himalaya.

“Our Tour Officer, Mr. Bharat was wonderful and informative. He briefed us very well before the trek. Sudang, was a very good guide. He was very helpful. He had very good English and also had good connections throughout the trial.”

“Hotels in the cities had nice rooms with very friendly staffs. The lodges during the trek were basic but they offered us a wonderful service. Though, the food menu was almost same everywhere but it had a big variety. Small bus or jeep used for transportation, best suited the road conditions.”

“We found very friendly people throughout the trek. The nature here in Nepal is fantastic. We had a very good impression of Nepal and mountains.”

Poonhill 3190m is an exotic location which is the most frequent trodden trekking trial of Nepal. The soft trekking adventure offers the diverse and charismatic treasures of nature and culture throughout the course. Poonhill itself is a view-point worthwhile to watch the gigantic and striking views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Tukuche, Fishtail and so many other Himalayan giants dominating the sky in the region.

This spring Ms. Karin Jakobsen and Mr. Nils Jensen through our exclusive country partner Kipling Travel enjoyed the most delightful vacation during the Poonhill Trek. During the 10 days trip from April 18 to 27, 2013, apart from the Poonhill Trek they also allotted the time for brief sightseeing tour of Kathmandu and the luxurious mountain flight.

This low elevation trek- Poonhill trek,  is wall-to-wall with panoramic Himalayan views along the pleasant tropical vegetation and the best cultural exhibition of Gurung ethnics at the Annapurna foothills which is specially designed for the cultural aficionados during the trek like Ms. Jakobsen and Mr. Jensen. Their itinerary had the enough time slotted in the traditional villages for the cultural outlook. Every campsite on the trek was full of life; the visitors joined the crew and the villagers and made the merriment getting involved in the activities like dancing, singing and playing. As they visited the local schools and market they were privileged to witness the cultural horizon at these places differing a lot to the built-up cities of Nepal. During the trek they hiked through the magnificent oak and rhododendron forests as they were ascending higher to the alpine meadows that gave the stunning views of the Annapurna Range. The conclusion of the trek made them the admirers of the nature. The places they visited during the Poonhill trek will long last in their memories.
