This short and rewarding trek which is basically a loop around Ghandruk and Ghorepani can be approached in two ways, starting either from Phedi or Nayapul. If you start from Phedi, you will trek to Landruk, cross the Modi River, reach Kyumi and from there to Ghandruk. If starting from Nayapul, your trail will go through Syauli Bazar and Kilu and then ascend towards Ghandruk. It is worth spending a day in the village of Ghandruk which is mainly inhabited by Gurungs and has fabulous views of Annapurna South peak. From there you will be following a forested path to Tadapani then head west to Ghorepani.
Poonhill is the most important stopover in this trek as you will be able to see a magnificent panorama of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna peaks. It is also a very sought after view point to catch breathtaking views of sunrise. In clear mornings, you can see the very first rays of the early sun strike the mountains which then begin to glow like gold.
You may have toured to many destinations in the world, but you are still missing a lot if you have not been to Tibet, the ‘Roof of the World.’ Here is your chance of a lifetime - a well-planned overland tour to world’s highest plateau, which is famous for its extraordinary landscapes, ancient monasteries and the unique culture of the Tibetan people. On your way back, you will fly across the majestic Himalayas, sighting Mt. Everest from a close distance.
