Poon Hill Trek 4 days is an incredibly short and easy trek to be celebrated during holiday. In fact, We also call this trek Poonhill Circuit Trek. According to the majority of the people who have been there, this is the most rewarding trek in the Annapurna region which offers the enthralling views of Annapurna Massif, giant Dhadulagiri, alluring Machhapuchhre( Fishtail) Manaslu and Ganesh Himal.

Along with the spectacular Annapurna mountain panorama, we also find the trip very blissful walking via lush woods, picturesque traditional settlements, terraced fields, and natural waterfalls. This 4 days Poonhill trek commences and ends in Pokhara. So, if you are in Pokhara and wish for 4 days hiking into the foothills of Annapurna to capture the closest and the marvelous mountain summits, you can undertake this trek.

The serene and cool Pokhara city and its natural splendors like lakes fall and caves, cool and shady trails via lush rhododendron, friendly ethnic people and their unique way of life, marvelous landscapes and terraced fields, rhythmic waterfalls, stunning sunshine, and breathtaking mountain panorama are the major highlights of  Poonhill Circuit Trek.

 The Poonhill Trek is 4 days and commences with 1.30 hrs drive from Pokhara to Nayapool. Nayapool is the trailhead of all kinds of major trekking trails in the Annapurna region. Now, from Nayapool we ascend via pleasant traditional settlements, lush forest, and cascading natural waterfalls. We will encounter and interact with local ethnic people and try to be familiar to their culture. Spending the nights at local teahouses with cool and fresh atmospheres will be the moments of your life during this trip.

Further, the ascent takes us uphill of Ulleri. We have to hit more than 3000 stone steps while passing Ulleri, and the trail finally takes us to Ghorepani. Till we get to Ghorepani, we walk via deep woods and melodious waterfalls.  Ghorepani is a beautiful town in the lap of the Annapurna Himalayas facing directly to the Annapurna massif and giant Dhaulagiri.

The town Ghorepani is the base camp for the Poonhill climb.  So, climbing Poonhill early in the morning before sunrise will be astounding. We wait for the stunning sunrise and capture delightful moments of hitting the sun's rays to the snow-fed mountain. We witness the fabulous mighty Dhaulagiri, Annapurna massif, Machhapuchhre, Manaslu, Himchuli, and Ganesh Himal from Poonhill. After the Poonhill hike, we trek to Tadapani. Trekking to Tadapani also is equally mesmerizing. You still enjoy the beautiful sunrise and mountain views from Tadapani.

 After reaching Tadapani from Ghorepani, the next day's walk will lead to Ghandruk. Ghandruk, the largest Gurung village in Nepal, is another major highlight of this trek. The friendly Gurung people, their unique culture and dishes, museums, Annapurna Conservation Area Project Office, and the German Bakery are the major attractions of Ghandruk.

After all, we drive back to Pokhara from Ghandruk to end our 4 days trek around Pokhara. Due to the famous spots in this trek like Ghorepani Poonhill, and Ghandruk, people also call this trek by another special name Ghorepani to Ghandruk Trek.
