Ghorepani Ghandruk Circuit Trek – 8 Days

When you arrive in Kathmandu, our staff will meet you at the airport and transport you to your comfortable accommodation. Use this day to unwind, adjust to the altitude, and explore the colorful city at your leisure.

We invite you to join us in the evening for a welcome party where you can meet your trekking guide and fellow travelers. Enjoy a cup of traditional Nepalese tea or coffee while engaging in friendly chats and sharing your trek goals.

Early in the morning, depart for a drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara. You’ll travel through the magnificent Prithivi Highway, passing through the scenic Trishuli and Marshyangdi rivers. Before arriving at Pokhara, a haven for pristine lakes, travel through lovely villages, terrace farmlands, and meandering roads.

Today is the first day of our trip. We will begin our journey from Pokhara. We will drive from Pokhara to Nayapul/ Birethani. And then start our trek to Ulleri.

We’ll continue our journey with a short drive through stunning scenery on the route to Nayapul/Birethanti or Hile’s off-road, where we’ll begin our walk. The path winds along a flowing river, passing through fertile jungle and terraced crops.

Before beginning the steep ascent from Sudami to Hille, we will pass past a waterfall, a swimming hole, and a bamboo forest. It’s a rocky, wide trail. Then we follow the track through the Bhurungdi Khola’s north bank, steadily ascending the valley’s side to Hille (1,495m), and finally to Tikhedhunga after a short ascent (1,570m). We climb steeply to Ulleri (2073 meters), a lovely Magar town.

Today, we’ll embark on a challenging ascent after a long journey and a brief trek to Tikhedhunga/Uleri. The Annapurnas, Machhapuchhare, and Hiunchuli snow-capped peaks provide breathtaking views. Then we gradually ascend through a rhododendron forest, passing by springs and rivers and seeing wild animals such as monkeys.

After another hour of walking, we’ll arrive in Ghorepani, a magnificent village atop a ridgeline. The Himalayan vistas from this village are spectacular. We may enjoy panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Himalayas on a clear day.

If you enjoy sunrises, today is your lucky day; we’ll begin our day before sunrise to climb Poon Hill in time to see the Himalayan sunrise. We’ll arrive at Poon Hill in time to see the Himalayan sunrise. From Poon Hill, we can see a spectacular vista of mountain ranges after taking a realistic view of the sunrise and the warm sun kissing us.

And from Poonhil, we will head towards Ghandruk. Until you reach Ghandruk, the trail continues through the forest. Then we go to Ghandruk, a Gurung Cultural Village, to see what there is. You can go to a museum, a temple, and several local homes while you’re here.

Today is the last day of our Ghorepani Ghandruk Circuit Trekking. Today we will trek from Ghandruk village to Kimche and head to SyauliBazar.

The trail continues via Saulibazar and Birethanti until reaching Nayapul, where we may take public transportation to Pokhara. This trek descends in about 3 hours, following a stone stairway to Saulibazar before going a gravel road to Nayapul.

From Syauli Bazar, we will drive to Nayapul, and then from Nayapul, we will move to Pokhara.

It is time to return to Kathmandu from Pokhara. Whatsoever, the journey will be exactly as lovely as before! The Prithivi Highway will take you through lovely villages and enchanting terraced fields. Let’s take in the breathtaking views and make this a memorable drive!

Today is the conclusion of an adventurous trip. Every action you’ve taken has shaped your story, and our agent is standing by to guide you to the international airport. May the lessons learned during this period continue to motivate and fuel for further exploration.
