The Himalayas of Nepal or always fascinating and tracking to either one of them is a completely rejuvenating experience. However, most tricks to the Himalayas are long and difficult. Thankfully there is a shorter and comfortable way to witness the best mountains in Nepal if you have a limited amount of time.

Poonhill a beautiful hilltop at Poonhiill altitude of 3210 m above sea level lies about 35 km north of Pokhara and 177km northwest of Kathmandu.

The area is even more stunning when filled with rhododendrons during April/May and snow during January/ February.
Ghorepani is a small settlement about 45 minutes below the hilltop and can be considered a base camp for Poonhill. The settlement of Ghorepani Mossley was home to Gurungs and Tamang communities, all followers of the Buddhist religion.

Best Time for Ghorepani Poonhill trek
The beauty of the Ghorepani Poonhill trek from Pokhara is that there is no time hey Siri actions for district. It doesn't matter and when you plan to visit, Poonhill is always ready to welcome you. While each season has different perks and excitement, my favorite time of the year for the Ponhill sunrise trek is spring. In spring the entire sub-temperate zone of Nepal is full of beautiful rhododendron and Poonhill offers a very mesmerizing view of the forest. But since Ne please loves to experience snow adventure many internal tourists prefer the months of January and February for the district. The entire Ghorepani Poonhill trek route and the trees are covered in white snowfall and the mountains also seem very big.
On a completely different note, International tourists prefer September and October for this Poonhill trek. These two months of autumn have the clearest sky and the mountains shine like a glitter. If you wanna to capture a beautiful picture of the Himalayas then these are the month for you. Last but not least you have the summer months of June and July which is monsoon in Nepal. Although not considered ideal for hiking in Nepal, being a low altitude this trek is possible in summer as well.
