Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek 5 Days 2026/2027

A five-day walk in the Annapurna foothills that combines the classic Poon Hill sunrise with a soak in natural hot springs at the end. You start and finish in Pokhara, with the trekking itself running through rhododendron forest, waterfalls and traditional villages between Nayapool and Ghorepani.

The early morning climb to Poon Hill is the centrepiece, with views across Dhaulagiri, the Annapurna massif, Machhapuchhre and Manaslu as the sun comes up. From there the route continues through Tadapani and down to Jhinu Danda, where you can rest tired legs in hot springs by the Modi River before heading back to Pokhara.

Nights are spent in local teahouses, and the pace gives you plenty of chances to talk with the ethnic communities along the trail and eat simple, locally grown food.
