Faqs
The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is an easy trek for people who have done other hiking in previous. This trek is graded as easy to moderate due to the basic facilities, elevation, and steep terrain with a narrow path. Average fitness and highland passion are required for the trek.
Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek takes 4 days to 7 days because it depends on your timeframe, interest, and the trekking routes that you prefer to take. Although, if you are fit and have limited time you can do it in 3 days taking a vehicle on the roadway.
You can do the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek without a guide and Porter due to the straightforward trail and Google maps but without a guide, you will not get proper information and knowledge regarding Annapurna Region. You can see magical scenery view without a guide but you will see meaningful scenery with a guide.
