The journey
Take a beautiful route to Ghorepani, a village whose name comes from Ghora (horse) and Pani (water).

Along the way, enjoy magnificent views of Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Himchuli, Fishtail, Dhaulagiri, Tukuche Peak, and Dhampus Peak, and experience an early morning sunrise from Poon Hill on this 5-day trek.
