This area, north of Pokhara, called "Ghorepani" offers some of
the most dramatic close-up views of the highest and most
beautiful mountains in the world. The abrupt variation in
altitude found here is astonishing. From the Pokhara airstrip
(850m) the summit of Machhapuchare (6997m) is less than 30 km.
This area is home to the Magars and Gurungs (backbone of the
famous Gorkha regiments). The trek passes through rhododendron
and mixed forest alive with ferns and birds, through spectacular
villages of the Gurkha soldiers with their spectacular Himalayan
back drops leads to Ghorapani 2834 m. The following morning
visits Poon Hill at (3210 m), a vantage point to view the
Dhaulagiri(8167 m) and the Annapurna massif. The trek makes a
small circuit and visits Tadapani(2450 m), Ghandruk and finally
ends in Pokhara.
