Essential Information of Ghorepani Poon Hill with Mardi Himal Trek

Ghorepani Poon hill and Mardi Himal Trek .

This trek is unique as it offers Ghorepani Poon Hill with Mardi Himal Trek-10 Days you two wonderful experiences in a trip. First, you become a part of the welcoming environment of the traditional Poon Hill trail, passing through villages and woods with other tourists. After that, you get on the smaller, quieter Mardi Himal trail, and you can walk peacefully with close-up mountain scenes. It is like two separate adventures that are involved with each other.At Glory Adventure, we take care of the details so you can simply enjoy the trek. You will trek on stone roads, in green woods and in hills with fields of farms. The trekking is consistent, typically 5 to 7 hours per day, and there is enough time to relax and take photos.
You will stay in local teahouses. They are basic family run lodges that can serve you warm dal bhat, milk tea and you can also share stories with other trekkers. It is an authentic and easy life in mountains.
The views change every day in your Ghorepani Poon hill and Mardi Himal Trek 10 Days journey. One morning you will watch the sun coming up over a long line of large peaks at Poon Hill. In a few days, you will be on a ridge of grass and you will think you can almost reach out and touch Machhapuchhre which is also called Fishtail mountain.
It is an adventure that attracts those who wish to experience the popular Himalayan scenery as well as enjoy the serene experience of a less-visited path. It is a very satisfying ten days of walking. This is one route that we love to share at Glory Adventure as it reveals the beautiful contrasts of the hills in Nepal.

Weather and Best Season.

Weather plays a significant role in the experience you get during Ghorepani Poon hill and Mardi Himal Trek .Autumn or spring will provide the most comfortable environment to walk, so we suggest visiting during this season.

  • Autumn Season: Autumn is a season between September and November. It is a beautiful season on the trail. The monsoon has purified the air, and the skies are a deep blue, and the mountain views are very clear. The paths are sunny, and the days are dry, so it is nice to walk around each day.
  • Spring Season: Spring is from March to May. It is warmer and the hills are in blossom. A lot of rhododendron will be in blossom, and there will be red and pink flowers, brightly blooming on the road. There might be a light shower once in a while, but the general atmosphere on the trail is fresh and energetic.
  • Winter Season: The winter, which lasts between December and February, has its own silent beauty. It is sunny, though the nights, particularly at high camps, are very chilly. Dressing up warmly will recompense you with some of the best mountain views of the year, because the cold air is usually very calm and clear.
  • Monsoon Season:The monsoon period is between June and August. The scenery is so green and rich. But it rains practically every afternoon, and that makes the trails muddy, and can occasionally make delay. It is a quiet difficult period to travel.

All in all, we at Glory Adventure find that most trekkers like autumn when the days are clear and steady or spring when there are blooming of colorful flowers.
