The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek offers you hidden treasures of the Nepali culture. This trail  takes you through patch work valleys, dense mossy forests and past icy waterfalls where you can stop to cool your face. Around every corner you find an inspiring glimpse of the high mountains; horizons will be revealed to you as you reach the high points of your trek. This trek is called one of the best of all trekkings in Nepal. You will enjoy different spectacular Himalayan views from Annapurna Himal on the east to the Dhaulagiri Himal on the west side, as well as a cultural mix of Gurung, Magar and Thakali styles of living. There are only few other trekking routes in Nepal which contain this much natural diversity & cultural variety. This trek can be a very good option when you prefer to do a short trek; beautiful places and views can be reached within a few days. For this reason, Mountain Leaders offers you this trek in 9 days, but also 12 days: for those guests who would like to combine this trip with visiting the Annapurna base camp.
