About this tour

The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is one of Nepal’s most popular short treks, perfect for travelers seeking breathtaking Himalayan views within a few days. This 3–4 day journey offers a beautiful combination of lush rhododendron forests, traditional Gurung & Magar villages, stone staircases, and panoramic mountain scenery.

The highlight of this trek is the magical sunrise from Poon Hill, where golden rays touch the snow-capped peaks of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. Starting from Pokhara, this trek is ideal for beginners, families, students, and travelers with limited time who still want a true Himalayan trekking experience.

Short, scenic, and unforgettable – this is Nepal’s sweetest trekking escape.

Experienced

We had a fantastic experience with Wow Treks at the end of last month. Many thanks to Madhab for his guidance before the trip and his support throughout the trek. The weather was not on our side, and we had to adjust our plans at short notice. Thanks to Madhab’s experience and practical advice, everything was reorganised smoothly and we were still able to complete the trek and enjoy the journey to the fullest. What stood out most was how flexible and attentive the team was throughout the trip. As an unexpected highlight, Madhab also introduced us to a beautiful hotel that became one of our favourite memories of the journey. A well-organised experience from start to finish. We would happily recommend Wow Treks to anyone planning a trek in Nepal.
