BEST TIME TO TRAVEL
The best time to travel in Nepal is in spring (February to May) and autumn (September to November). The temperature is moderate in these seasons and guarantees amazing views through the trip. Although this trek can be undertaken during winter, the cold temperature might not be suitable for everyone.
GUIDE & STAFF ARRANGEMENT
The most significant thing that makes this trek enjoyable and memorable is the skilled, experienced and helpful Guide and crew member who have the ability of guiding our trek on the mountain smoothly. Our trip will be led by the best and most professional Guide. All of Discovery Mountain Trekking Guide’s are carefully selected on the basis of their appropriate experience, skills and personal aptitude.

We are firmly committed to porter rights. We make sure that all our porters are well treated, well paid and we provide the level of shelter, clothing and footwear that these harsh environments demand. Porters who become sick are treated with the same care and attention as other team members and we have previously used helicopters – at our expense – to rescue porters from dangerous situations. We support the work of the International Porter Protection Group (IPPG), making our resources available to them to help improve the working conditions of the porters. International Porters Progress Group.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
Nepal is stunningly beautiful, but equally fragile in the mountain region. Future generations have just as much of a right to appreciate it as much as we do. Therefore, we believe that the tourism industry has an obligation to protect and preserve it. Discovery Mountain Trek employs a ‘zero impact’ policy on the natural environment and the traditional communities that live there. Discovery Mountain Trek, therefore, enforces a number of do and don’t. Please talk to your trek Guide to avoid environmental impacts.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
It is a condition upon joining any of Discovery Mountain Trek trips that all clients be insured for comprehensive expenses that might incur due to medical issues or accidents (this includes air ambulance, helicopter rescue, and treatment costs). Please note that we don’t arrange or sell insurance.
ACCLIMATIZATION
This trek’s itinerary is planned with a high degree of awareness of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness). Going up at higher altitudes too fast causes a medical condition serious enough to result in death. The higher the altitude, the less oxygen will be in the air. For example, at an altitude above of 5000m, there is 50% less oxygen than at sea level. Therefore, our body needs many days to adapt to an environment with less oxygen. During this trip, one day we take rest in somewhere which will help us acclimatize to the high altitude.

Annapurna Sunrise Trek is an ever popular trekking program in Nepal. Poon Hill at 3,200 meters is a famous place for one of the best sunrise views in Nepal. The vantage point of Poon Hill offers spectacular panoramic views of the Annapurna mountain range. You will hike up to Poon Hill before the break of dawn to watch the sun come up from behind the mountains, offering colorful views of sunrise and charismatic shades of golden color scattered over the Annapurna range. This is probably the best viewpoint of sunrise in the entire range.
A trek to Poon Hill starts with a short hiking trail from Nayapul near Pokhara, taking you to the village of Ghorepani and back. This trek provides you an opportunity to capture exceptional views of mountain that are over 8,000 meters in height. Some prominent mountains visible from Poon Hill are Mt. Annapurna (8,093 m), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167 m) and other peaks such as Mt. Annapurna South, Mt. Nilgiri, Mt. Fishtail, Mt. Lamjung apart from green hills and valleys below. The views are glorious, the route is enchanting – all of which you will cherish from memories of Nepal.
Considered an easy trek in the Annapurna region, it is the most relevant trekking program from Discovery Mountain for those who wish to see the grandeur of the majestic Annapurna Massif and beyond. The almost surreal views in the morning will make you think and wonder about the beauty of Nature at this far-flung location on the planet. Ironically enough, it is a reality that one can only witness nature’s exotic beauty in truly remote places!
In this trek you will also be introduced to the general nature Nepal’s trekking trails. You will see hamlets and villages scattered throughout the hills; you will see how people live in harmony despite the geographical isolation. You will also live in the hospitality of the Gurung people, who are known for their bravery and are renowned as the Gurkha!
This is an exciting trek suitable for beginners and experts alike. This region can be visited throughout the year, but we recommend you to avoid the monsoon season (July-August) as the mountains can be hidden in the rain-clouds. For views that are above excellence, try booking this program in late autumn to mid winter.
A quick welcome at the airport and transfer to your hotel. You will be given a brief of the program and introduced to your trekking guide. Later, take an evening stroll around and stay overnight at the hotel.
To Pokhara, you will be taking a scenic route along Trishuli River. The drive will take around seven hours through winding hilly roads. One you arrive there take a brief stop, drive to Nayapul and begin the trek to Hile. First you will pass the bank of river, cross dense forests and take a scenic route to Hile where you will stay overnight a guesthouse.
After leaving Hile behind, we continue across the Bhurungdi River. Follow the excitement-crunching, stamina-testing steep climb to Ulleri, a chiefly Magar village at 2,070 m. The trail then continues to ascend gently through oak forests and rhododendron bushes. From there we trek towards Nangethanti at 2,460 m, and after about an hour, we reach Ghorepani located at 2,775 meters. The village has wonderful views of several mountains in the Annapurna range. Sleep early at a guest house.
You will get up early, even before the break of dawn, and hike up to Poon Hill from where you will see superb sunrise views over the panoramic mountain range. Later in the morning we return to Ghorepani, have breakfast and trek to Tadapani. You will come across a couple beautiful places today as you will pass through rhododendron forests, waterfalls, and have close-up views of several picturesque mountains. You can enjoy in the evening looking at photos of the tour and sharing your stories, while staying overnight at a guest house in Tadapani.
Upon leaving Tadapani behind, we descend through forests and along easy trail to reach Ghandruk. It is a village of the Gurung, a people with their own dialect, culture and fame. From here, you can have more scenic views of the mountains. Rest for the night in one of the home-stays or if you prefer, in a guest house. The trekking duration today is around three to four hours with plenty of stopovers for rest, drinks, and photography before arriving at the popular village of Ghandruk at 1,930 meters.
The total trekking duration today is a little under five hours. After breakfast in Ghandruk, we continue our journey with an easy walk all way down to Nayapul via Birethanti. From Nayapul, we drive for about an hour to reach Pokhara.
Today you will drive to Kathmandu from Pokhara. Once you are in the capital, have a free day enjoying shopping, hot-water bathing, relaxing in a sauna, or simply seeing around town. Stay overnight at the hotel.
Today after breakfast we will start visit you to several of the most historical and spiritual attractions in Kathmandu which are also listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. you visit the sacred Hindu temple of Pashupatinath, the famous ‘Monkey Temple’ (Swayambhunath) and Buddhist shrine (Bouddhanath), which is also one of the largest stupas in the world.
