Ghorepani and Poon Hill Trek from Pokhara, thus makes a very good choice for trekkers who are interested in short, easy-moderate treks that offer the possibility to witness spectacular mountain views without needing to go too high or trek for too long. Additionally, this Poon Hill trek is also perfect for travelers with limited time, those new to trekking and those trekking with family. It also makes one of the best options for viewpoint trekkers and landscape photographers.
If you are planning to trek while the Rhododendron forests in the Annapurna region are in full bloom, the best time to plan Poon Hill trek is in Spring (March-May). If the clearest mountain views with pleasant weather conditions is what you prefer, plan this trek in Autumn (September-November) and if you enjoy the snowy landscape, Winter (December-February) is the best time to plan Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek from Pokhara. Nevertheless, as this is a short low altitude trek in the Annapurna region with this trek can be done year round.
If you are looking for an alternative trek that takes you a little higher than Poon Hill, is less crowded and offers more spectacular Himalayan views than Poon Hill Trek, Muldai View Point Trek from Pokhara will be the best option for you. If you are looking to add a richer cultural experience to your trek, we highly recommend the Ghorepani Poon Hill with Ghandruk trek from Pokhara. However, if you are looking for high-altitude, longer treks from Pokhara ,Mardi Himal Trek and the renowned Annapurna Base Camp Trek always make the best option.
