It's a 10475ft or 3193m rise from Poon Hill. The lower level of Poon Hill is not at risk of altitude disease or acute mountain disease. Walking from Ulleri to Ghorepani leads you to the greatest variation in elevation. This is because Ulleri is about 1500m high, and Ghorepani is about 2800 meters high, so you are almost 1300 meters high this day. It suggests that you are about 1300 meters high. Poon Hill is one of the major Hill Stations of Nepal.
The advice on hiking that tells you to only go 500 meters a day is only for people who go on the terrain above 5000 meters above sea level. However, you can always adjust your plan for Poon Hill Trek and go slowly up to greater altitudes when meeting the difficulty.

Poon Hill Trek is located around 200km northwest of Kathmandu, from the picturesque town of Pokhara. It can take 5 to 7 hours on a route, even though the distance is only 200 kilometers. Within one hour you can fly to Pokhara, although the bus is the most preferred way to travel. In Kathmandu trekking firms normally start their journeys and transfer you directly to Pokhara, where you stay in a guesthouse. This is your base camp for the beginning of the Poon Hill Trek the next day. Although most trekking firms take buses to or from Kathmandu to Pokhara, they also normally can do it by plane or private shuttle. Contact our trekking experts to learn about the opportunities.
Hospitality is available in pleasant lodges maintained by local families. The center common space with a huge oven provides warmth and a cozy environment in each cabin. The unheated rooms normally provide two beds, mattresses, pillows, and a blanket per bedroom. A sleeping bag is required – a 2/3 season is usually sufficient, as there are also blankets and this tour isn't very high, and we would prefer that you have a pillowcase.
The lodges normally offer gas-powered showers and most use flush toilets (some lodges do also have squat toilets). Food is of excellent quality at lodges, a mixture of indigenous food in Nepal and west recettes. From fresh pastries to beer and drinks at lodges and shops, everything is available. You can find here a Nepal price guide. Numerous businesses sell drinks, snacks, and chocolates of different varieties. You can also buy any equipment in Kathmandu at a low cost.
You won't walk and walk-in harsh conditions when you perform the Poon Hill Trek. After all, the trek does not exceed slightly more than 3,000 meters above sea level. That's why you're not as exposed as on other walks in Nepal to the elements. The Ghorepani Poon Hill trip can be done all year long, although the month is the most popular journey to this classic from March to May and from October or November.
From April through May and September to the beginning of December is the ideal trip to Poon Hill. The climate is beautiful at this time, heaven clear, and not too chilly. Expect sunny hot days about 18°C and nights near the freezing point. It will reach approximately 5 degrees Celsius in the morning at the highest altitude on this climb. In the trekking season prepare to wear day shorts and t-shirts while at night and early morning sleeved jumper jacks and a fleece jacket. When the fire comes out, the lodges are toasty in the evening, and the beds are unheated but they will not be sold under a decent sleeping bag. Blankets are to be borrowed always.
It is simply impossible to miss the magnificent dawn of Poon Hill. Anyone who is part of this wonderful walk can enjoy a compelling view of the highly snow-clad highlands and the peaks around Gangapurna, Annapurna South Mountain, Annapurna I Mountain, Dhaulagiri Mountain, and Hiunchuli Mountain. Also renowned for bird watching is the Poon Hill walking trail. In the deep forests are gathering native and migratory birds, such as Lophophorus. There is just one hike in Nepal that gives you less time and money for the Himalayan experience and the greatest sunrise. Sometimes the Poon Hill Trek is just a warm-up for other fantastic hikes in Nepal. It's a good warm-up for walks on Mount Everest, for example. So are you going to trek Poon hill? Sounds great!
