Experience the mountain village of Ghorepani, an early-morning hike to Poon Hill at approximately 3,210m and a relaxing Pokhara stay on a compact 2-night, 3-day journey from Kathmandu.
-->
The Ghorepani Poon Hill Pokhara Tour is designed for travellers who want to experience one of the Annapurna region's most famous viewpoints without committing to a longer multi-day trekking itinerary.
The journey combines road travel from Kathmandu with an overnight stay in the Ghorepani area, an early-morning walk to Poon Hill and a second night in Pokhara.
At approximately 3,210 metres, Poon Hill is known for its wide Himalayan panorama. On clear mornings, travellers can enjoy views toward the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges along with Machhapuchhre and surrounding peaks.
After the mountain experience, the tour continues to Pokhara for a more relaxed finish before returning to Kathmandu.
Poon Hill is one of the best-known viewpoints in the Annapurna region.
From the viewpoint, clear mornings can reveal broad views toward the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, along with peaks such as Machhapuchhre and surrounding Himalayan mountains.
Mountain visibility always depends on weather, clouds and seasonal conditions.
Ghorepani is a well-established mountain settlement surrounded by forest and Himalayan scenery.
The village serves as the overnight base for the Poon Hill sunrise hike and sits at approximately 2,860–2,870m.
The wider Ghorepani area is particularly known for rhododendron forest, which becomes especially attractive during spring.
Poon Hill cannot be reached by vehicle.
From Ghorepani, visitors complete the final section on foot.
The climb normally takes approximately 45–60 minutes, and the same walking section is required whether travellers reach Ghorepani by road or through the traditional trekking route.
After the Poon Hill experience, continue to Pokhara for the second night.
Pokhara provides a relaxed finish to the mountain portion of the journey and gives travellers time to enjoy the Lakeside atmosphere or selected sightseeing according to arrival time.
This package is designed for travellers with limited time who still want to experience a genuine Annapurna mountain viewpoint together with Pokhara.
