GHOREPANI POONHILL TREKKING

[outsidetaiwan]

安娜普納大環線，Poon Hill

住在Ghorepani的人都是為了��去Poon Hill看日出，我昨天從後山上來的時候，在上村中心的住宿都不是很滿意，硬是繼續爬到最頂端，心裡還有點擔心等下要是不滿意還得走下來，結果還好Hotel Hilltop還可以，前面的平台也有視野，住兩晚老闆娘願意給我400盧比，當下就決定這裡了。

日出是早上6:37，櫃檯寫著需要35-45分鐘上山，我聽隔壁房間的團體大概五點多就起床出門，我自己則是賴到五點半才起來，看看窗外仍舊有帶著頭燈上山的人經過，快速把衣服套上，拿了頭燈就出門，還好習慣性的把錢包放身上，不然摸黑到了售票口，沒錢買票就糗了。

然後我一路慢慢走，邊走邊喘，到了第一個平台，差點就想乾脆在這裡看日出好了，不過時間離日出還半個多鐘頭，要在這裡等三十分鐘實在太冷了，就鼓勵自己再繼續往上一點好了。

又一兩個人超越我，我想我應該是最後的最後了，然後繼續鼓勵自己，再往上一個平台看看，不過上面都有樹林，視野不是太好，我就又跟自己說，還有時間，再上去一點看看。

沒想到我就這樣堅持著，也在6:36分到頂了，一回頭就正好看到���陽要出來了！

日出看完，坐著看了一會四周的雪山頭，七點半多才滿意的下山了。

回到旅館才吃早餐，然後沒多久雲霧又把太陽遮住了，本來想說下去村子裏走一下，或許喝個咖啡下午茶什麼的，結果沒有太陽冷得要死，東西也沒有比較便宜，半個小時後還是回來旅館裡暖和一點，窩在火爐旁喝茶看小說。

住宿：Hotel Hilltop，房間400rs/晚

費用：Poon Hill 門票 150rs + 午餐 (veg fried noodles) 510rs + 茶 (milk tea) 150rs + 晚餐 (veg tunkpa) 550rs，早餐 (porridge+tea) 550rs

隔天早上我就不用那麼早起，六點多天已經亮了才起床，走出旅館露台也一樣漂亮。

Necessary Equipment for Ghorepani Poonhill Trek

The Ghorepani Poonhill route offers a magnificent experience. The breathtaking vistas of the Annapurna range, the lovely forests, and the kindness of the local villages leave a lasting impression. However, as gorgeous as this walk is, being well-prepared is vital for properly enjoying it. I learned this the hard way on my first attempt, when I overlooked certain essential supplies and had to endure unnecessary discomfort. So, if you’re planning a stroll along this magnificent trail, here’s a list of must-have gear.

1. Good Hiking Boots

A solid pair of hiking boots can make or break your trek. The trails are a mix of rocky paths, steep ascents, and sometimes muddy terrain. On my first day, I met a fellow trekker who had worn casual shoes. By day two, she had blisters and could barely walk. My heart went out to her as I saw her limping up the trail, struggling with every step. Don’t make the same mistake — invest in comfortable, waterproof hiking boots with good ankle support. Break them in before the trek so your feet can adjust to them.

2. Layered Clothing

The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable. Mornings and evenings are often cold, but during the day, you’ll warm up as you hike. I remember starting the day all bundled up, only to strip down to my t-shirt an hour into the trek as the sun came out. Pack in layers — a moisture-wicking base layer, a warm fleece, and a windproof jacket will cover most conditions. It’s not just about comfort; it’s about staying safe from the cold or overheating.

3. Rain Gear

Even if you trek during the dry season, rain can surprise you in the mountains. A poncho or a lightweight rain jacket is a must. On one of the days, halfway through our hike, clouds suddenly gathered, and it poured. I watched some trekkers scramble to find shelter under trees, but they were soaked within minutes. I had my rain jacket handy, and it made all the difference. Staying dry keeps your spirits high when the weather turns.

4. Trekking Poles

Trekking poles may seem unnecessary to some, but they were lifesavers for me, especially during the steep descents. Your knees will thank you after hours of walking down rocky steps. I remember feeling my legs tremble as we descended toward Tikhedhunga after a long day. The poles provided extra support and helped me keep my balance.

5. Warm Hat and Gloves

Poonhill itself is chilly, especially if you’re heading up for the sunrise. I made the mistake of leaving my gloves at the lodge one morning and regretted it while standing at the viewpoint with numb fingers. The panoramic view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges was breathtaking, but it was hard to focus when I could barely feel my hands.

6. Headlamp

Power outages are common in the mountains, and many guesthouses don’t have electricity at night. A headlamp is crucial, especially if you plan to catch the early morning sunrise at Poonhill. On my second night, the power went out, and I had to fumble through my bag in complete darkness. A small headlamp would have saved me so much frustration.

7. Reusable Water Bottle and Purification Tablets

Staying hydrated is key during the trek, but buying bottled water at every stop can get expensive and isn’t eco-friendly. Carry a reusable water bottle and use water purification tablets. I felt a strong sense of guilt every time I saw the empty plastic bottles along the trail. It’s our responsibility as travelers to leave these beautiful places as we found them.

8. Snacks

Even though you’ll find plenty of teahouses along the way, it’s always nice to have some trail snacks. Energy bars, dried fruits, and nuts can give you that extra boost when you’re feeling tired. I shared some of my snacks with a fellow trekker who was exhausted after a long climb, and it felt good to offer some comfort. The simple act of sharing a snack can create small, meaningful connections along the trail.

9. Basic First Aid Kit

It’s always smart to carry a basic first aid kit with items like band-aids, antiseptic cream, and painkillers. On my trek, one of the hikers twisted her ankle, and having a few pain relievers on hand helped her manage the pain until we reached the next village. It’s a small thing, but being prepared can make a big difference for yourself and others.

10. Permits and Documents

Don’t forget your permits — the TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) card and the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP). You won’t get far without them, and trust me, the last thing you want is to be turned away at a checkpoint after all the excitement of starting your trek.

Final Thoughts

The Ghorepani Poonhill Trek is a relatively short and moderate trek, but the more prepared you are, the more enjoyable it will be. Having the right gear made my trek much smoother and allowed me to focus on the incredible beauty around me. There were moments when I stood in awe of the sunrise at Poonhill or the peaceful forests, and I felt grateful to be there, fully immersed in the experience without distractions.

Exploring the Annapurna Region: Trekking Adventures to Tilicho Lake, Poonhill, and Annapurna Base Camp

The Annapurna region in Nepal is a paradise for trekkers, offering diverse routes that showcase the majestic beauty of the Himalayas. Among these, the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake, the Annapurna Base Camp trek via Poonhill, and the Annapurna Base Camp Short trek are three of the most popular and rewarding adventures.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake is a classic journey that takes trekkers through a variety of landscapes, from subtropical forests and terraced fields to alpine meadows and high mountain passes. The trek starts in the lush valleys near Besisahar and gradually ascends into the arid, rugged terrain of the high Himalayas. One of the highlights of this trek is the side trip to Tilicho Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world at 4,919 meters (16,138 feet). Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, Tilicho Lake is a serene, turquoise gem nestled in the heart of the mountains. The Annapurna Circuit Trek also includes the challenging Thorong La Pass, which at 5,416 meters (17,769 feet), offers panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. This trek is ideal for those seeking a comprehensive Himalayan experience that combines cultural encounters with natural beauty.

For those looking to combine cultural exploration with stunning mountain views, the Annapurna Base Camp trek via Poonhill is a fantastic choice. This trek begins in the scenic village of Nayapul and winds through lush forests, charming Gurung villages, and rhododendron-filled hills. The trail leads to Poonhill, a popular vantage point for sunrise views over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. The sight of the golden rays of the sun hitting the snow-covered peaks is a sight to behold. From Poonhill, the trek continues to Annapurna Base Camp, situated at 4,130 meters (13,549 feet). Here, you are surrounded by towering peaks, including Annapurna I, Machapuchare, and Hiunchuli, making for an awe-inspiring experience.

For those with limited time but still yearning to experience the magic of the Himalayas, the Annapurna Base Camp Short trek is the perfect option. This condensed version of the classic trek allows trekkers to reach Annapurna Base Camp in just 7-9 days. The journey offers the same breathtaking views and cultural immersion as the longer version, but in a more manageable timeframe. The trail takes you through dense bamboo and rhododendron forests, past cascading waterfalls, and into the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary, where the towering peaks seem almost within reach.

Whether you're seeking a long, adventurous trek like the Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake, a culturally rich journey via Poonhill, or a quick escape to Annapurna Base Camp, the Annapurna region offers something for every trekker. These treks not only showcase the natural beauty of the Himalayas but also provide a deep connection with the local culture and communities, making for an unforgettable adventure.

What is Poon Hill Trek Famous For?

Have you heard about the Poon Hill Trek in Nepal? It is one of the most popular short treks in the country, and with good reason. The walk provides breathtaking views, a glimpse into local culture, and an unforgettable experience in the Himalaya.

Stunning Sunrise Views

The sunrise view from Poon Hill is the trek’s highlight. Early in the morning, before the sun rises, trekkers ascend to the viewpoint. It’s a bit of a climb, but the reward is well worth it. The rising light gives a golden glow over the towering peaks of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. You may see magnificent mountains such as Annapurna South, Machapuchare (commonly known as Fishtail), and Hiunchuli. The view is truly magnificent and the ideal way to begin your day.

Easy Access and Short Duration

Another reason Poon Hill is so popular is that it is reasonably easy to reach. The trip begins in the village of Nayapul, which is a short drive from Pokhara. Unlike some other treks in Nepal, which might last weeks, the Poon Hill climb can be done in 4 to 5 days. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals who are short on time yet want to enjoy the grandeur of the Himalayas.

Beautiful Villages and Local Culture

Along the trip, you’ll pass through picturesque villages like Ghorepani and Ghandruk. These villages are home to the Gurung and Magar people, who are well-known for their hospitality. You can stay in teahouses, which are basic lodgings managed by local families. They provide an excellent opportunity to sample local culture and cuisine. I recall eating excellent dal bhat, a traditional Nepali dinner, after a hard day of trekking.

Rhododendron Forests

The beautiful rhododendron forests are one of the Poon Hill trek’s standout attractions. If you go hiking in the spring, you’ll see these woodlands in full bloom, with bright red, pink, and white flowers. Walking through these vibrant trees is like stepping into a fairytale.

Personal Experience

When I trekked to Poon Hill, I was astounded by the variety of scenery we encountered. We went from strolling through deep forests to crossing open meadows with breathtaking mountain views. The climb to Poon Hill was difficult, especially early in the morning when the sky was still dark, but reaching the summit and seeing the sun rise over the Himalayas was an incredible experience. The sense of success and the beauty of the moment justified every step.

Conclusion

The Poon Hill Trek is well-known for its breathtaking morning views, easy terrain, and vibrant local culture. Whether you’re a seasoned trekker or a beginner, this trek has something for everyone. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Nepal, I highly recommend including Poon Hill on your itinerary. It’s a journey that will leave you with cherished memories and a great respect for the Himalayas’ natural splendor.
