You will enjoy the Ghorepani Poonhill trek as the region start offering spectacular mountain scenery through charming villages inhabited by local Gurungs, dense rhododendron(National Flower) forest full of birds and deep subtropical landscape.

And those who prefer to make a longer trek can pass through guring hill continue trek to Ghandrung and the trek ends at Dhampus phedi. Next day, we drive to Pokhara and catch a flight for Kathmandu. we do recomend the Ghorepani circuit trek for it offers the best panoramic view, local gurung culture and no one to return the same route.

Some trekkers begin Ghorepani Poon Hill trekking via Dhampus phedi and the trek ends at Nayapul or near Beni bazzar. If you start the trek from Beni bazzar, it will be nice for you to see natural hot springs in Tatopani and take a bath in a natural hot spring. Ghorepani Poonhill trekking is also possible to organize in tea house basis or camping as per your demand. You find several tea houses in many places in the trail and therefore you need not to worry about food and accommodation in the tea house lodges. It is cheap if you go to the Ghorepani poonhill trek in tea house basis in comparison to camping tent for the camp trekking, we need to bring all the needed food, camping equipments and required staffs from Kathmandu.
