Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek Difficulty
Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is one of the most popular treks in Nepal and one of the reasons for this is its short and easy nature. The trek only involves around 4 – 5 hours of trekking per day and even that is through fairly easy and well-trodden routes. The highest point of the trek is at Poon Hill (3,210m), meaning there is virtually no risk of altitude sickness either. Overall, this is just an easy grade trek that can be performed by people of all age groups and experience levels, including children and elderly.
Best Season for Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek
Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is one of the treks in Nepal where choosing the correct time to visit can make a noticeable difference. We definitely recommend two seasons as the best periods for the trek; spring (March – May) and autumn (September – November). The crystal clear skies combined with pleasant weather and generally good vibes all around offer an amazing experience that is hard to replicate elsewhere.
Winter trekking (December – January) is a good time to witness the panorama of glistening peaks from Poon Hill. The increased snowfall of winter further accentuates the amazing mountain vistas on this trek. Monsoon trekking is possible but not recommended as the unpredictable weather and rainfall can make the experience somewhat mediocre compared to other seasons.
