The Poon Hill 4 Days trek is categorized as "easy" but we'd put it in the moderate to difficult basket. It is depending on your experience. If you have the experience to walk dally 4-5 Hours it makes easy for you. But Walking our is changeable as per travelers. So It's not difficult, but it's not like a park stroll as well. When you equate this trek to Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit, then sure, it's simpler, but sometimes it was a definite challenge.

Poon Hill is a trek that anyone can complete. If you're taking a Poon Hill guide or map while you're trekking, you'll have less trouble completing the trek. The maps have many benefits, including identifying the locations along the way, discussing possible places to visit, and holding lively conversations. 

Poonhill Trek 4 Days Features, Why Poonhill Trek 4 Days?

Sections of the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek are nature walks, running all around you through forests of rhododendron with rainforest-like foliage.  There are a number of stone staircases that run from village to village and are used by both residents and tourists. There's 3280 steps in a row at one level. The path starts and ends in Nayapul, winding around Ghorepani and Ghandruk. It gives this high alpine area's fresh tranquility and a glimpse of customary Nepali way of life. Here you can catch some of the best shots from the impressive ranges of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri and it is also popularly known as the Paradise of the Photographer. 

How to Reach Pokhara? KATHMANDU TO POKHARA- TRANSPORTATION

The bus leaves from Kathmandu every morning at around 7 am from Kathmandu's Tourist Bus Park. It takes around 7 to 8 hours to reach Pokhara, which means that at about 2 pm you can reach Pokhara. During the drive, there will be a two-time break for breakfast and lunch. The cost of the bus varies depending on the quality of the bus you are looking for. Traffic jams and road conditions have an effect on arrival and departure.

Depending on your time, the private car leaves Kathmandu, which means you can drive as early as you want or as late as you want. On your call, the vehicle will always be on standby. The larger the number of groups will be provided, the larger the car or jeep. The private car takes 5 to 6 hours to reach with a relaxing scenic drive with a few breaks for food / drinks. There are several daily flights to Pokhara from Kathmandu. If you want to go by air in the main seasons, the journey and fares must be confirmed as early as possible because the flights will be jam-packed and there will be no seats.

Awesome trip in Nepal

For this trip, I had many discussions with Boahnu and am so satisfied with his kindness and always ready to answer any kind of questions. I have to say for the first traveler, Nepal Hiking Adventure is a good choice for your guide in Nepal.
Especially the hiking was so fantastic. The Ghorepani Poon hill trek is a 4day hike in the Annapurna mountain range in Nepal. It takes a moderate level of fitness to complete. Ram is a good guide.
Thank you all for this fantastic trip, I think that I will be back soon.(^_-)
