Day 1: Pokhara to Ghorepani.
Our adventure begins early in the morning as we depart from our hotel in Pokhara. After enjoying a delicious breakfast, we will embark on a 3-4 hour jeep ride to Banthanti, which is the starting point of our trek. Our journey will take us through Banthanti, where we can admire the picturesque scenery and stunning views of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre.
Since we have limited time to complete our trek, we will take a jeep to Ulleri instead of starting from Nayapul. Although this means we will miss the opportunity to interact with the friendly Sudamis and residents of Hile, we will still be able to appreciate the charming settlements, rolling hills, and streams along the way.
After arriving in Banthanti, we will enjoy a hearty lunch before beginning our ascent to Ghorepani, our Day 1 destination. This part of the trek will take around 6-7 hours, as we hike uphill through meadows, rhododendron and oak forests, and pasture lands. Along the way, we will pass through the small Gurung community settlement of Banthanti, which has a few restaurants and tea houses offering accommodation. End at comfortable hotel of Ghorepani, Hotel Sunny.
Day 2: Poon Hill Sunrise Hike and Back to Pokhara.
On the final day of our trek, we will start our hike early in the morning to reach the Poon Hill viewpoint standing at 3,210m and witness the beautiful sunrise. It will take us approximately 45 minutes to hike up to Poon Hill from our lodge. We must hurry to avoid missing the sunrise as it is the highlight of our trip.
