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.
