Poon Hill Trek

This trek starts from Nayapul, about a half-hour from Pokhara by bus. From there we trekked to Tikedhunga for the night. This day's highlight was the river crossings, with beautiful river and valley scenery.

The next day, we started early to climbed up to Uleri, the steepest part of the entire trek. There was no shade, so bring lots of water. The afternoon part of the trek was more interesting and shaded. We reached Ghorephani around 4pm for the night. The scenery in Ghorephani was breathtaking, but it was freezing at night.

We got up at 3am the next day to climb Poon Hill for the sunrise. After the sunrise, we left Ghorephani for Dhurali Hill, also a fine sunrise spot, then headed to Ghandrung. Along the way we passed through woods. It was an easy trek on the third day. Ghandrung was the biggest village we encountered the entire journey. The mountains are just opposite our guesthouse, and we could see the whole galaxy looking down at us that night. The final part of our journey was mostly downhill and exposed to the sun. It took us half a day to reach Nayapul.
