Ghorepani- Poonhill- Ghandruk Trek

 

In Ghandruk, one of the most beautiful Gurung villages in Nepal, you can visit the Gurung Museum, Buddhist monasteries, ACAP headquarters, and interact with locals to learn more about their daily life, cuisine, and spiritual beliefs. Ghandruk also offers an iconic view of Machhapuchhre and Annapurna South, right from the village.

 

Accommodation on the Trail

In Kathmandu and Pokhara, accommodations range from budget to luxury, depending on your preference. Along the trekking route, comfortable guesthouses and lodges provide clean rooms, basic amenities, and local meals. In Ghorepani and Ghandruk, you can even find rooms with attached bathrooms.

 

Trek Difficulty and Fitness Level

This is a relatively easy to moderate trek, ideal for beginners and families. The most challenging part is the 3,380-step climb from Tikhedhunga to Ghorepani, but the views and sense of achievement at the top are well worth the effort. No previous trekking experience is needed—just a basic level of fitness and a love for nature.

 

Best Time to Go

The best seasons are:

 

Spring (February to May) – colorful rhododendrons and mild weather

 

Autumn (September to December) – clear skies and excellent mountain views

 

Winter (December–January) is also possible, but mornings and nights can be quite cold. Summer/monsoon (June–August) is less popular due to rain and leeches but still possible with proper planning.

 

Weather Overview

Days are generally warm and sunny, while nights can be chilly, especially at higher elevations like Ghorepani. Weather is most stable in spring and autumn.
