Even though you will not hike that high, you will see the whole Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges.

Start your Ghorepani Poonhill Trek and Jungle Safari with a tour in Kathmandu at the world-renowned UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Durbar Square, Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath, and Boudhanath. Then drive to Pokhara, a beautiful tourist destination known for its serene lakes and natural beauty. After spending the evening in this lakeside city, it’s time to head up to Nayapul, from where your actual trek to Ghorepani Poonhill Trek and Jungle Safari begins.

Ghorepani Poonhill Trek and Jungle Safari will be full of adventure, culture, and enchanting Himalayan views as you walk through the rhododendron forests and traditional villages to reach the top of Poon Hill (3210 m). From there, you’ll witness a mesmerizing sunrise over snow-capped mountains like Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. After capturing the amazing Himalayan sunrise from the vantage point of Poon Hill, you’ll be rewarded with another wonderful sight: the spectacular sunrise over Dhaulagiri and Machhapuchhare. From there, you’ll have a chance to explore the captivating village of Ghandruk, which seems to have been left unaffected by modernity. After that, you’ll also have the opportunity to explore Pokhara, a beautiful tourist destination filled with stunning lakes and waterfalls.

After that, you will head towards Chitwan National Park in Chitwan. You will get to enjoy a Jungle Safari Tour with a ride on an elephant's back or in a jeep, depending on your interest. It is a great opportunity for nature and wildlife lovers, as you can encounter some rare and endangered species of animals like the Royal Bengal Tiger and one-horned rhino during a jungle safari tour. Canoeing along the Rapti River with Marsh Magar and Gharials on a hand-made canoe is another interesting activity to do in Chitwan. You’ll have the chance to see rare wildlife like one-horned rhinos, clouded leopards, and crocodiles, as well as a wide variety of birds.

Moreover, you’ll have a chance to cross cultures with the locals of Gurung communities in Annapurna and Tharus in Chitwan on a visit to the museum, home stays, and cultural show.
