Description
The best place to go if you're short on time but yet want to make the most of it is Ghorepani Poonhill Ghandruk Trek. Our schedule states that the hike begins at Tikhedhunga, Kaski. This amazing hike offers once-in-a-lifetime experiences, a gorgeous setting, a lush forest, and a wealth of culture.
It is situated in the western region of Nepal, where Magar culture is widely practiced, and the highest point of this magnificent walk is just 3,210 meters (10,531). However, it's also the greatest choice for those who want to hike at Nepal's higher altitudes because it helps you develop your endurance and stamina. The breathtaking vista of the Western snow-capped Himalayas (Dhaulagiri 8,167 m, Machhapuchhre 6,993 m, and the enormous Annapurna Range) is guaranteed from the high Poonhill (3,210 m). Then, the next destination, Ghandruk village, whose happy atmosphere is sure to please you. It is one of the charming settlements with stone-paved roofs and alleyways. Award-winning hamlet and cultural resource, it welcomes a good number of tourists each and serves as a main base camp for the Annapurna Base Camp trip. The green woodland changes color in April and May to tones of red, pink, and the national flower, the rhododendron. You will undoubtedly see a glimpse of a lifetime from beginning to conclusion, along with a wealth of experience.
This trek is appropriate and is widely chosen by those who are bound by tight schedules. The sight from the hilltop is mind blowing and paths and villages on the way makes it more interesting to embark on.
