Probably, this trek is the most admired trek among all trekking routes of Nepal. And this trek is a well suited soft trekking for people who are willing for real mountainous experience within short duration. After a short driving to Nayapul (New Bridge) from Pokhara, this trek passes through the old and traditional village of Gurungs and Magars and slightly goes up to a hill station called Tikhe Dhunga and just after crossing the river, for a hour this trek goes rapidly up and starts to explore around delightfully ticked rhododendron jungle.
Poon Hill, the most magnificent viewpoint from lowest elevation might be the first attraction of the whole Ghorepani excursion where you can see fabulous views of Himalayan snow capped mountains in 360 degree landscape with sunrise over Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. This trek can be done throughout the year devoid of any suspicion. Normally, saying this the most admired trekking route of Nepal, where you may find more foreigners than Nepalese people during the peak seasons.
Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is done inside the Annapurna Conservation Area Project and it’s illegal to do any kind of trekking or visit inside the area without entry permit. This project has a total area of 7,629 sq. Kilometers. This project was launched in 1968 by King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation. The biological diversity of the Annapurna Region is equally rivaled by its rich cultural diversity. Since the first trekker came to the Annapurna area in 1957, the natural and cultural features of ACAP have made it the most popular tourist destination in Nepal, drawing more than 60 per cent of the country's total trekkers. ACAP follows the three grass root philosophy of maximum people’s participation, sustainability, and its role as at catalyst (facilitator) whereby the local people are involved in all aspects of the conservation and development processes, both as principal actors and prime beneficiaries. |
