Each length is a complete walk with an English-speaking guide, TIMS and conservation permits, and lodge nights on the trail. The minimum age is 13, groups run from 1 to 15, and pickup is from your Kathmandu hotel. 📋 Key Details Length: 4, 8, or 9 days from Kathmandu Viewpoint: Poon Hill at 3,210 m Ages: 13 and up Group: 1 to 15 Pickup: Your Kathmandu hotel 🥾 What to Expect Each length is a complete walk to Poon Hill above Ghorepani at 3,210 metres. We'll collect you from your Kathmandu hotel, walk with an English-speaking guide, arrange TIMS and Annapurna Conservation Area permits, and sleep in lodges on the trail. The pre-dawn climb from Ghorepani takes about 45 minutes, and you return to the lodge for breakfast after the viewpoint. The 4-day trek uses the tourist coach to Pokhara both ways, a night by the lake, and a walk from Ulleri to Ghorepani for the sunrise, then the jeep and coach home. Lunch and dinner in Pokhara are your own on that length. The 8-day trek starts at Nayapul, stays in lodges through Ghorepani and Ghandruk, includes a porter, and includes the Kathmandu to Pokhara ticket. The 9-day trek adds two 3-star nights in Kathmandu and two in Pokhara on bed and breakfast, with lodge nights on full board. A flight between the cities is available as an extra. On every length you'll walk rhododendron forest, terrace farms, and Gurung villages. On a clear morning you can see Dhaulagiri, the Annapurna range, Nilgiri, and Machhapuchhre from the ridge. 📍 Location Above Ghorepani the ridge of Poon Hill sits in the Annapurna Conservation Area, west of Pokhara. The trail passes rhododendron forest, terrace farms, and Gurung villages. On a clear morning you can see Dhaulagiri, the Annapurna range, Nilgiri, and Machhapuchhre from 3,210 metres. Pickup is from hotels inside Kathmandu. You'll travel to Pokhara by tourist coach, or by air if that is how your days are set. The trailhead is reached by road from Pokhara toward Nayapul or Ulleri, matching the days you book. ✅ Prerequisites You need to be 13 or older. Travellers under 18 must travel with an adult. You do not need previous trekking experience. You should be happy walking for several hours on uneven paths and stone steps, and you should be able to manage a pre-dawn climb to the viewpoint.

The journey runs for 4 days, 8 days, or 9 days. Each one is a complete walk to Poon Hill above Ghorepani with a guide, permits, and lodge nights. Pick the length that suits your time in Nepal. We'll confirm the start from your Kathmandu hotel. ### Where do we meet? We'll collect you from your hotel inside Kathmandu. If you are staying outside the ring road there is an extra transfer charge. Have your hotel name ready so the driver can find you the morning you leave. ### How hard is the walking? The walking is graded easy. You will spend several hours on the trail on trek days, with stone steps around Ulleri and Ghorepani. You do not need previous trekking experience. A reasonable level of fitness helps. The pre-dawn climb to Poon Hill is short but steep. Take it steadily and bring a warm layer. ### How high do we go? Poon Hill sits at 3,210 metres. You walk up from Ghorepani in the dark for sunrise, which takes about 45 minutes. The air is cooler and thinner than Kathmandu, so take the climb steadily. The lodges sit below the ridge, so you return to Ghorepani for breakfast after the viewpoint. ### What permits do I need? We'll arrange the TIMS card and Annapurna Conservation Area permit. Please have a clear colour scan of your passport (valid for at least six months) and passport photos ready the day before you leave. We'll collect them from your Kathmandu hotel. Keep the original passport with you on the trail as well. ### What should I pack? Bring sturdy walking boots, layered clothing, a waterproof jacket, sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, snacks, and a small first aid kit. Pack light. You can leave extra bags at your Kathmandu hotel. A warm layer helps on the Poon Hill morning, even after a mild day in Pokhara. ### Is a porter included? A porter is included on the 8-day trek. On the 4-day trek and the 9-day trek a porter is available as an extra if you want one. Your guide walks with you on every trek. Keep the daypack light: water, layers, and a camera are enough for the walking hours. ### Can children come? The minimum age is 13. Travellers under 18 need to travel with an adult. Younger walkers should be used to several hours on stone steps and happy to stay in simple lodge rooms. ### What happens if the weather is poor? Cloud and rain can hide the sunrise. We'll still walk the planned days when it is safe. If a day cannot run, we'll move it or talk through the next step with you. The lodges stay the same even if the viewpoint is in cloud. ### How do we travel between Kathmandu and Pokhara? The 4-day trek uses a tourist coach in both directions. The 8-day trek includes the Kathmandu to Pokhara ticket. The 9-day trek uses the tourist bus as standard, with a flight available as an extra. The coach journey is about five to six hours. We'll confirm the vehicle or coach time with you the evening before you leave the city. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/097d09c9-fe75-468c-bc80-2f66513bfa74.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 5 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
