Tourist buses run Kathmandu to Pokhara both ways (about seven hours). Groups stay between 2 and 12 people from age 12. 📋 Key Details Days: 9 days from Kathmandu Ages: 12 and up Group: 2 to 12 Springs: Soak at Tatopani Travel: Tourist bus Kathmandu to Pokhara both ways 🥾 What to Expect A representative meets you at Tribhuvan International Airport and takes you to a Kathmandu hotel. The next day you'll take the tourist bus to Pokhara, about seven hours, then drive to Nayapul and walk along the Bhurungdi Khola via Hile and Tirkhedhunga. After lunch a steep two-hour climb takes you to Ulleri, a Magar village, for the first lodge night. The following day is about five hours through rhododendron and oak forest to Ghorepani. Your guide wakes you for the hour-long walk to Poon Hill at 3,210 metres. On a clear morning you'll see Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and Machhapuchhare. After breakfast you'll walk down to Sikha via Chitre, then about four hours down to Tatopani. Lunch is in the village, then you'll soak in the natural hot springs and sleep at a lodge in the same place. From there a local jeep or bus returns you to Pokhara, and a tourist bus takes you back to Kathmandu for a farewell dinner with a cultural show. Lodge days include breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Lunch on the bus days is your own. Bring a swimsuit for the springs. 📍 Location The Modi Khola meets the road at Nayapul, where you leave the vehicle and follow the Bhurungdi Khola toward Hile, Tirkhedhunga, and Ulleri. Rhododendron and oak climb to Ghorepani. Poon Hill is the 3,210-metre sunrise ridge above the lodge. Sikha and Chitre sit on the descent toward the Kali Gandaki. Tatopani is the hot-spring village on the river, lower and milder after the soak. Pokhara and Kathmandu are the hotel cities at each end. You start and finish at Tribhuvan International Airport unless you are already in a city hotel. ✅ Prerequisites A steep two-hour stone climb into Ulleri after lunch, about five hours through forest to Ghorepani, and a long descent to Tatopani should feel within reach. Previous trekking experience is not required. The minimum age is 12. Groups start at two people. Bring a passport, broken-in boots, and a swimsuit for the springs.

Nine days from airport pickup to the departure transfer. You take the tourist bus to Pokhara, drive to Nayapul, and walk via Hile and Tirkhedhunga to Ulleri, then through rhododendron forest to Ghorepani. An early start takes you to Poon Hill at 3,210 metres, then down to Sikha and Tatopani for the hot springs. The last walking day ends at Tatopani. From there you drive a local jeep or bus to Pokhara, then the tourist bus back to Kathmandu for a farewell dinner and the airport transfer. ### Where do we sleep? Hotel nights are in Kathmandu at the start and end, and in Pokhara on the way in and after Tatopani. On the trail you sleep in teahouse lodges at Ulleri, Ghorepani, Sikha, and Tatopani. Lodge rooms are simple: a bed, blankets, and a dining room. Ghorepani is cold before the Poon Hill start. Bring a warm layer. ### What are the hot springs like? You'll soak at the natural hot springs in Tatopani after the walk down from Sikha, about four hours. Lunch is in the village, then you have time in the pools. Locals come here for the mineral water. Bring a swimsuit and a dry layer for after the soak. The lodge is in the same village, so you do not have to walk far once you leave the pools. ### How fit do I need to be? The minimum age is 12. Groups are 2 to 12 people. You should be happy with a steep two-hour climb after lunch into Ulleri and about five hours through forest to Ghorepani. You do not need previous trekking experience. The Poon Hill morning is about an hour up from the lodge before breakfast. Tell us about any medical needs when you book. ### Which meals are included? Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included on the lodge days. Hotel days include breakfast. Day one meals are not included. Lunch on the bus days is your own. A farewell dinner in Kathmandu, with a cultural show, is part of the return evening. Trail snacks, extra drinks, and tips are not included. Tell us about dietary needs when you book. ### What should I pack? Bring walking boots, a warm layer for Ghorepani, a rain jacket, a swimsuit for Tatopani, a daypack, water, and your passport. The Ulleri climb is steep stone steps. Broken-in boots help more than new ones. A small first-aid kit and sun protection belong in the daypack. ### Can I cancel? You can cancel up to 24 hours before the trip for a full refund, in line with the Flexible policy. If cloud hides Poon Hill, the walk still runs; sunrise may be muted. Your guide will keep the same lodge plan and watch the morning sky with you. ### Where do we meet? A representative meets you at Tribhuvan International Airport on day one and takes you to the hotel. The last morning is a transfer back to the same airport. Have your flight details ready when you book. If you are already in a Kathmandu hotel, tell us so we can collect you there. ### What is included? The booking includes the English-speaking guide, hotel and lodge nights as listed, meals on the trail days, the tourist-bus sections, the Nayapul transfer, and the farewell dinner. International flights, Nepal visa, lunch on the bus days, tips, and travel insurance are not included. A porter is not listed as part of this booking. ### Is a certificate included? This is a guided lodge walk, not a qualification course. You will not receive a trekking award. Your guide stays with you from the airport through Poon Hill, the Tatopani soak, and the return bus to Kathmandu. ## 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/dfa2fca6-4aa9-4d74-afc9-73f771aec5e7.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## 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.
