2025 Ghode Pani Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

DAY2: Ulleri-Ghorepani (2874m, 5-6 hours) The next morning, I woke up at 8:45 a.m., washed up, and went downstairs to have breakfast. ​ ​​​ Wow, look outside... It was very foggy, and it was really white... Remember to book breakfast one day in advance (we made an appointment for breakfast at 9:30 a.m.) Otherwise, they will have to wait a long time before they can eat, haha~​ Energy needs Fried rice and fried noodles for breakfast is common sense~ I probably haven't had such a filling breakfast since middle school. (I ate Chumai Ichiban/Indonesian lo mein every morning in middle school) It is a good idea to eat more in the morning when you are in the mountains (but don’t eat too much). After eating, we set out in the fog at 10:25 am ​​​​ The dogs here are really hospitable and took us on a journey~ ​ Please give me good weather soon. We will reach the summit tomorrow morning>< The only way On your right you will see a swing. I don't even dare to sit down, I'm afraid I can't bear it haha~ ​​ The second day's route was a little easier, not as many levels as the first day. But it's not very easy~ because you have to walk some small paths~ When you reach a certain point, you feel like there is no way to go. Then you can ask the workers who are repairing the road (if any) Otherwise, pay attention to whether there is an artificial road on the hillside~ Think of it as a shortcut! Climb up with some effort~ ​​ Go, go, go~ Arrive at Nangathanti (2,535m) at noon You will see a lot of houses. It started to rain (it rained heavily for more than 10 minutes and then there was light rain) So we sat down to eat in the restaurant. ​ ​ The menus are almost the same Eat and continue on your journey The rain lasted for more than an hour. ​ ​ 3:30p.m. Arrived at Ghorepani. Today’s goal accomplished! I recommend this guest house to everyone!!!!! Good food, good people, good scenery~ Many people will push it next to the stove~ Everyone can meet new friends from all over the world here There is a rope on the stove for drying clothes~ It's great!!! ​​ 4:30 p.m. Tea time The menu of this restaurant is quite special with many styles~ Let's try its Spanish dishes~ Of course with masala tea + hot chocolate ​ Very delicious!!! ... I would describe it as a baked pancake filled with a lot of vegetables like mushroom, chicken etc. There is a lot of cheese and rice. It is really filling~~~~ But it's really delicious ~ very satisfying ​ ​ After that, we saw that it was still early, so we decided to climb to the top first. But if it rains heavily when you wake up, you can't reach the top and have to go down the mountain. Let's explore the way~ ​​ After walking for a day, seeing this staircase is really tiring haha~ ​ ​​ ​ Although the weather is really bad, I can't see any mountain scenery~ but ... We Did It ! ! Hello Pooh Hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ​​ ​​ I feel so sorry, but I have to hold on to hope! It will definitely be a nice day tomorrow! See you tomorrow morning! ​​ Go back for dinner~ (The food in this restaurant is great! It tastes great! ) Then rest ~ I have to get up at 4 o'clock tomorrow ~ The second day is over~ #Romantic trip #Island holiday #Couple travel #Friends travel #Natural wonders #travel #travelphotography #photography #nature #travelgram #wanderlust #travelblogger #trip #adventure #vacation #travelling #explore #picoftheday #travelguide #beautiful #nepal #traveller #travelblog #hktravel #blogger #travelblogger #nepal #trekking

1️⃣ National Flower Status: The national flower of Nepal is the Rhododendron (scientific name: Rhododendron arboreum), locally known as 'Lali Gurans', symbolizing courage and good fortune. 2️⃣ Altitude King: Grows in high-altitude areas of 1500-4000 meters, resistant to cold and wind, making it the toughest 'flower warrior' at the foot of the snowy mountains. 3️⃣ Impressive Scale: Over 30 species of rhododendrons are distributed in Nepal, with the Annapurna Conservation Area being a prime spot for rhododendron viewing! 🌸 Why are Nepal's rhododendrons so amazing? Color Explosion: From the pink and white, light purple at lower altitudes to the bright red and deep purple at higher altitudes, the colors gradually change as the altitude increases, as if nature is painting on a 'palette'. 🎨 Giant Flower Trees: Some species of rhododendrons can grow up to 20 meters tall, and when in bloom, the whole tree looks like a giant flower umbrella, walking under the tree feels like being showered with romantic petals! (Perfect for photos!) Snow Mountain CP: Behind the rhododendrons are the snow-capped Annapurna and Machapuchare peaks, the visual impact of red flowers + white snow + blue sky creates a 'paradise on earth' scene. 🏔️ Best Viewing Spots 1️⃣ ABC Trek (Annapurna Base Camp): Ghorepani to Tadapani section: Rhododendrons are most dense from March to April, turning the entire hillside red, making the trek feel like walking through a flower tunnel. Deurali to MBC section: As the altitude increases, red rhododendrons frame the snow-capped mountains, creating a stunning visual impact! 2️⃣ Poon Hill: At sunrise, golden sunlight spills over the sea of rhododendrons, with the distant snow-capped mountains, making it the 'iconic scene' of trekking in Nepal. 🌄 3️⃣ Langtang National Park: A hidden gem! The rhododendron species here are more primitive, combined with Tibetan villages and prayer flags, offering both cultural and natural healing. 🌿 Rhododendron Fun Facts Survival Wisdom: The back of the high-altitude rhododendron leaves has fuzz to prevent freezing and drying, and the flower's nectar glands attract birds for pollination. 🐦 Bloom Alert: Rhododendrons at lower altitudes (like Poon Hill) bloom in early March, while those at higher altitudes (like ABC) peak from late March to mid-April, and there are still some rhododendrons at EBC in late April, so check the timing before you go! ❗ Protection Reminder Nepal's rhododendrons are a fragile symbol of the plateau ecosystem, so please don't pick or break the branches! 🙅‍♀️ Enjoy them quietly and take photos, that's the best respect you can show to this sea of flowers. - March in Nepal is an epic romance of rhododendrons and snow mountains. If you love alpine flower seas, don't miss this 'pink punch'! 💖 Poon Hill Nepal·Asia

The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is considered an easy trek in Nepal. That’s not to say you can go straight from your couch to the mountains! A reasonable level of fitness is required. But it can also be a family trek, with children and older relatives being able to participate and enjoy yourself 🙏🇳🇵🏃‍♂️🤗

Site : Ghorepani Treks Location : Ghorepani is a rural village in Myagdi District in the Dhaulagiri Zone of northern-central Nepal. It is 17 kilometres from the district capital of Beni at an elevation of approximately 2874 m at height. GPS Coordinates: 28.4008° N, 83.7000° E Getting there : Busride or Flight from Kathmadu to Pokhora. From Pokhora you alight your bus at Nayapul and start trekking. Remember to get a guide and passport trek card as you need to report to the Park Post everytime you reach the entrance or exit sign. I had a literally NO CHILL trekking guide. He do this every single day that he can sprint uphill without a problem. So most of the time I was trekking alone drinking mountain water, playing with waterfalls. Drink at the local hill top shop with a view. I can speak random nepali and hindi words so I survived. Most people showed you the post hiking pictures. I'm showing you the reality of hiking. You carry heavy load cross waterfalls and streams, walk on wobbly handmade bridges and get bitten by a lot of leeches. The trek was rated as moderate due to the steep incline , ascend and descend. Hiking is not all glory. You have to wake up 5 or 6am to start and end 6 or 7pm daily. Mal nourished, not enough sleep, body aching and look ugly and smelly through out. But the satisfaction level is beyond words. #passionpassport
