Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek - Beauty of Nepal (Part 1)
Spread The Viralist



Thank you for watching my Ghorepani Poon Hill trek video. Visit my website for lots more travel and food – http://migrationology.com/

Normally I don’t make videos this long, but since I have been getting some requests for longer videos, I decided to try something a little different with this video and try something a little more like a documentary of reality type of show.

Nepal was truly an amazing country, and part of the reason I visited was to do a trek in the Himalayas, a dream of mine. So after spending some time in Kathmandu, we took a bus to Pokhara in order to check out the situation and arrange our Ghorepani Poon Hill trek in the Annapurna mountain range, located just an hour drive from the city of Pokhara.

We started things off by first taking a taxi from Pokhara to Nayapul which cost 1500 Nepali Rupees. This is a popular starting point for the hike and there were several other groups also beginning. Our first day we trekked from the town of Nayapul to the town of Tikhedunga. For most of day one, we walked along a gravel road, passing villagers, homes, and farms along the way. We took a break to eat lunch, and I ate something known as dal bhat, which is rice with mixed vegetables and dal soup. As we continued to hike, the views became better and better, but nothing compared to what we’d see in the following days. We finally arrived to Tikhedunga, and our small guest house was located at the top of a small hill, next to a stream. It was a beautiful quiet location and the atmosphere was amazing, as was the fresh air. For dinner that night I enjoyed a plate of rice accompanied by a can of fish which I had brought and a plate of fried noodles.

On day two of the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek I woke up early and ate breakfast. In order to save money, I had brought some bags of muesli, which is very cheap to buy in Pokhara or Kathmandu. I also purchased a cup of chai from the guest house. After a lovely breakfast we continued hiking the trail en-route today to Ghorepani, the town at the peak of our trek. The trail was gorgeous and we climbed up and up and up, taking frequent little breaks to drink water and to chow down on power snacks like peanuts and some chocolate. For lunch we took a break at a local restaurant where I ordered dal bhat along with some delicious buffali sukuti, dried meat. It was pretty delicious and some needed protein. The views were absolutely marvelous, and the highlight of the day was catching the first glimpse of the ice covered Himalayan peaks of Nepal! On day two of the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek, we arrived to Ghorepani extremely tired, hungry, and cold. We checked in to our guest house, showered, put on our warm down jackets which we had rented, and then enjoyed sipping on hot cups of tea by the fire. It began to hail and snow, but we could still see the unbelievable views of the Annapurna mountains. We decided to sleep quite early as the next day we were going to wake up early in the morning to climb to the top of Poon Hill for the sunrise view of the Himalayas.

Hope you enjoyed part one of my Ghorepani Poon Hill trek video, be sure to now watch part two for the conclusion and lots of stunning scenery.

  7. Young man, your videos would be sooooo much better if you did not have soooooooooooooo many food stops [ in depth], they overtook the trekking – which is the important part.

  9. This was so beautifully documented.. I tried watching a number of videos including more formal documentaries on this area and Mark yours was definitely by far, better than most. The footage was inspiring, you captured the views in a way that made me feel like I was there and once again your description of the traditional food was accurate and informative. I also appreciate how you share what the accommodation is like.. often overlooked by many vlogs. So interesting I had to share these 2 episodes with my family. Thank you for doing such an amazing job yet again. Big Thumbs Up from Australia ??

  12. Beautiful surroundings. The food there is not that expensive and is healthy. It was painful seeing you eating oat with water ? its lovely to see your journey.

  15. We went to Poon hill trek as well but didn’t reached because of the snow. So anyone going trekking
    Please go on the trekking season not in December-March months it’s a bad idea! And also now you can get bus to Ulleri. It’s good if you guys rest in Tikhedunga because from Tikhedunga to Ghorepani it’s a hell of a walk. And it’s also best if you get a trekking stick! Nepal has many beautiful mountains for nature lovers.

  18. I look back these video in 2019 and i know many improvements you've made in your tour and videos in every way mark,you deserve everything,be rich and be famous. Respect.

  28. Lots of places to visit so nxt if u hav time visit Makwanpur,nepal….famous places …daman, tistung,kuleykhani,chitlang,hetauda…etc… I'm sure u gona love there….pure natural n peace ful nepal…

  34. looking at ur new vidoes (2018/2019) seems like u didnt know how to eat back in these days. money saving mind. … u should visit nepal once again for better foods only.

  35. MARK you are so respectful to all the cultures. You should visit Nepal again and eat local food from different ethnic groups. I am sure you will give us your signature reactions when you think food is great.

  40. Acabo de ver un video de 2019 donde usted y su familia viajan a Shri lanka y es años luz a este de 2013, aquí parece mochilero, en shri lank ya es otro nivel, pero lo que me gusta es que usted mantiene su amabilidad, humildad y buen gusto por la comida, por cierto yo hubiera acompañado el bufalo con coca cola de la que se ve atrás
