The trek to Ghorepani - Poon Hill (Pun Hill) is the most popular short trek in Nepal and highly recommended, it can be completerd in as little as five days although many people take their time and extend the trek to take in other settlements on the way.The benefit of this particular trek is on leaving from Pokhara within an hour or twos drive you are trekking and getting some spectacular views of the mountains.Walking through charming villages,mainly inhabited by the Gurung & Magar ethnic groups. There are many dense and very colourful rhododendron forests in the spring. It is a good area for birds and deep sub-tropical valleys. If that were not enough, the magnificent Annapurnas and Machhapuchhare (Fishtail Peak) in particular, dominate the skyline.

A highlight of this trip is to climb up early in the morning from Ghorapani to Poon Hill for some fantastic views of both the Dhaulagiri range and the Annapurna range. Dhaulagiri (8,167m) Annapurna (8,091m) along with many other peaks at sunrise is an unforgetable experience.Because it is a popular trek, the facilities found on the trail are good with hot showers and great food.
