Reviews

Good to know

  • Start Early for Sunrise: Begin the hike to Poon Hill before dawn (around 4:00–4:30 AM) to catch the iconic sunrise.
  • Dress in Layers: Morning temperatures can be very cold, even in spring or autumn; wear thermal layers and a warm jacket.
  • Use Trekking Poles: Helpful for Ulleri stairs and downhill sections to reduce knee strain.
  • Carry Cash: Teahouses accept only cash (Nepalese Rupees) for meals, drinks, and small purchases.
  • Light Backpack: Leave unnecessary items in Pokhara; carry only essentials for comfort on the trail.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, especially at higher altitudes.
  • Respect Local Culture: Greet locals with “Namaste” and be mindful of traditions in Gurung villages like Ghandruk.
  • Early Bookings: Accommodations can fill quickly during peak seasons (spring and autumn).
  • Photography Tips: Best light is during sunrise at Poon Hill and early morning in Ghandruk.
