The beautiful blossom of Rhododendron is the pride of Nepal. A national treasure you should not miss. Ghorepani Rhododendron Trek gives you a perfect opportunity to bask fully in the beauty of the breathtaking Himalayan scenery. The magnificent blossoming of brightly colorful Rhododendrons, the rich culture of ethnic people, and the stunning scenery of the landscapes will be the highlights of the Ghorepani Rhododendron Trekking. And an unforgettable adventure holiday of your life.

Ghorepani Poon Hill is situated in the lower Annapurna Region. The trekking route passes through many natural wonders and traditional settlements inside the Annapurna Conservation Area project. The starting point of the four-day Ghorepani Rhododendron Trek is the lovely Pokhara city, also known as “the city of lakes.” Several Magar and Gurung villages surround the route, allowing you to get a close look into their rich culture and traditions.

Occupied by deep jungles filled with the blossoms of Rhododendrons, the Annapurna Conservation Area presents you with its astounding biodiversity, including various animals and birds. The most captivating highlight of this trek is the marvelous scenery of the Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and Manaslu mountain ranges. The panorama of Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Machhapuchhre, Mt. Lamjung, Mt. Hiunchuli, Manaslu, and many more high snow-capped peaks keeps you company throughout the trip.

The vantage point of Poon Hill is one of the most popular destinations for the awe-inspiring scenery of the mountain ranges. With its moderate level of difficulty and the maximum altitude of only 3210 meters, the Ghorepani Rhododendron Trek is a perfect way to enjoy the spectacular natural beauty of Nepal. Rhododendrons bloom during the spring season from March to May. The last week of March to April is the best time to enjoy the Rhododendron Blossoming. It is not only the fresh scent of flowers but also the sparkling mountain ranges as the skies are mostly clear.
