You won’t be climbing and trekking in the most difficult terrain when participating in the Poon Hill Trek. After all, this trip only ascends to an altitude of slightly more than 3.000 meters. As a result, you are less exposed to the elements than you would be on other Nepalese treks. The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is a classic that can be done throughout the year, but the busiest times are from March to May and from October or November.

Poon Hill is at a height of 3193 meters. Poon Hill is at a lower elevation, therefore there is little danger of getting altitude sickness. The maximum daily elevation is 500 meters. You should always be aware of the hazards of altitude sickness while going on a trip in Nepal. The symptoms of altitude sickness are rather obvious. It is also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) or just Mountain Sickness, and it is a health condition that develops when a person is exposed to low oxygen levels at a high altitude. Not only can altitude sickness happen in the Himalayas; it can also happen while hiking on Mount Kenya, Kilimanjaro, or the Inca Trail.

In less time and for less money, there isn’t a single trek in Nepal that can provide you with the opportunity to witness the Himalayas and the spectacular sunrises. Sometimes people do the Poon Hill Trek as a warm-up for Nepal’s other world-class treks. For instance, it serves as a nice warm-up before walking in the Mount Everest region.
Poon Hill can be climbed for a variety of reasons, but the most notable one is the spectacular dawn that makes this walk so well-known. You will undoubtedly witness one of the most stunning sunrises you have ever seen. When you consider that you will be able to see Dhaulagiri and Annapurna in the morning glory, the trip or trek from Ghorepani up the summit is definitely worthwhile.

About 200 kilometers north-west of Kathmandu, in the lovely town of Pokhara, is where the Poon Hill Trek begins. Even though it is only 200 kilometers away, traveling there by car might still take 5–7 hours. Although flying to Pokhara takes only an hour, buses are the most common form of transportation there.

Thankfully, the Poon Hill trip is not a long trip and it is not at a high altitude like some other treks in Nepal. Getting ready for the Poon Hill Trek is not too difficult.

When you decide to go hiking or trekking in the Annapurna Region, you can anticipate staying in a respectable hotel in Pokhara and possibly staying in teahouses while you are trekking. Whatever lodging you choose in Nepal, don’t anticipate a lavish display. The lodging is rather simple, but it’s ideal for people who are taking a break from hiking and trekking because their legs will need some rest. More information on staying at teahouses is provided below.
