Ghorepani is a beautiful village that provides quality accommodations and meals to mountain trekkers, it is also quite a well-facilitated village. Many of the trekkers who are interested to spend a night nearby Poon Hill for witnessing the sunrise can stay at this village. It can be walked from the village of Ulleri in about five hours depending on the trekkers’ fitness to reach Ghorepani. The main source of income for the residents of Ghorepaani now is tourism. The place used to be a place where travelers used to stop for water (paani in Nepali) and also to rest their horses (Ghora in Nepali). Thus, it got the name Ghorepani. As the village lies in the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) an entry permit is required to visit this village for foreign travelers.
Poon Hill is truly a trekkers’ paradise, one cannot rave enough about the views from Poon hill. The Ghorepani Poon Hill tour is marvelous for amateur trekkers and for those trekkers who don’t want to go to a high altitude. During the comfortable and easy trek, the guest houses that you will be staying at will be relatively decent but with homely owners. As we walk through the trails, light winds blow across our faces through the terrace farming villages, walking through thick mossy forests and cooling off yourselves at beautiful icy waterfalls are only a few of the things that you can enjoy during the Poon Hill trek. This trip surely won’t disappoint you as it is filled with amazing views of the high mountains and dramatic landscapes along with the magical green hills.
