Trip Overview

The Ghorepani Ghandruk Luxury Trek is a premium Himalayan adventure that combines the breathtaking beauty of the Annapurna region with exceptional comfort and personalized service. This trek is designed for travelers who want to experience Nepal’s spectacular mountain landscapes without compromising on quality. This 9-day journey features luxury accommodations in Kathmandu and Pokhara, private transportation, carefully selected premium mountain lodges, and professional trekking support throughout the trip.

Your journey starts with a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Pokhara is a peaceful lakeside city known as the Gateway to the Himalayas and the Annapurna Region. The trek actually begins in Nayapul so that a private vehicle will drive you to the trek start point from Pokhara.

As you continue the trek, you’ll descend to Ghorepani, a Gurung village that will be a great spot to hold on during the trek. One of the major highlights of the trek is Poon Hill Viewpoint (3,210 meters).

You will pass through Tadapani and eventually arrive at Ghandruk, a quaint Gurung village renowned for its stone homes and rich culture. You will get the opportunity to see a variety of birds, deer, and monkeys as you hike through lush rhododendron woods. Trekkers with a decent level of fitness can enjoy the path, as it is mild and features modest altitude gains.

In Ghandruk, you’ll explore the village, which offers excellent views of the Annapurna range and is a great place to learn about the traditions and culture of the Gurung people. This ethnic group primarily inhabits this region. The villages you visit are steeped in history, and you’ll notice the traditional architecture, with stone houses and steep, narrow streets that wind through the village. Many locals are descendants of soldiers from the British Gurkha regiments, and the village’s proud heritage is evident in its architecture and customs.

Ghandruk is the final destination, and now you have to leave it behind and head back to Pokhara. In Pokhara, you’ll have a bit of downtime to relax by the calm waters of Phewa Lake, or you can explore more of the city, like the World Peace Pagoda or the nearby caves.

 Verified Unforgettable Trekking Experience & Warmest Hospitality with Silvermoon Adventure Silvermoon Adventure and Tours provides comprehensive, reliable, and top-tier service, treating every guest with genuine warmth and care. They truly make Nepal feel like a second home, and trekking with them means you won't need to worry about a single detail from start to finish. Why I Chose Silvermoon Adventure and Tours I learned about the team through Deepak. Once he knew my flight details and preferred trek, he immediately customized a detailed itinerary for me. While I consulted other travel agencies in Nepal, Deepak and the Silvermoon team provided the most thorough plan and transparent information, giving me complete confidence to book with them. The Trekking Experience My guide, Basanta, took exceptional care of me throughout the entire journey. Along the trail, he constantly checked in on how I was feeling, offered breaks, and even offered to carry my backpack to ensure I was comfortable. Every time we arrived at a tea house, he made sure I had food and drinks ready—even reminding me to order meals when I was too exhausted to think about it. On the day we reached Annapurna Base Camp (ABC), I developed a mild headache. Basanta immediately arranged garlic soup to help relieve the altitude sickness and provided medicine to soothe the pain. His attentive care made all the difference in completing the trek safely. Beyond his attentiveness, Basanta is an expert guide who always navigated the easiest paths at trail junctions. Even after we returned to Pokhara for dinner, he ensured I got back to my hotel safely. Deepak also checked in via message every single day during the trek to ensure everything was running smoothly. After the Trek The team's hospitality didn't end on the trail. Back in Kathmandu, the founder, Bishal, gave me a warm welcome, helped me retrieve my luggage from the hotel, showed me around the city, and personally arranged my airport drop-off. Thank you to Basanta, Bishal, and Deepak for an unforgettable experience. I will definitely return to Nepal and trek with Silvermoon Adventure and Tours again. Highly recommended!

 Verified Excellent guide and wonderful experience My husband and I had the most amazing experience trekking in the Himalayas to Poonhill with Bishal. We were very well looked after and felt extremely safe with him at all times. He made us laugh when the hike got a little trickier and always made sure we had hot drinks and food as soon as we got to the huts. We would highly recommend him as a wonderful and trustworthy guide and will definitely contact him again when we have plans to come back!

Everything was perfectly organized from beginning to end, making me feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. A special thanks to my guide, **Dipak**, who was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. He shared interesting information about the mountains and local culture, always kept a comfortable pace, and made sure I was safe on every part of the trail. The breathtaking sunrise from Mardi Himal View Point, the peaceful forests, and the stunning views of Machhapuchhre and the Annapurna range made this trek truly unforgettable. The accommodations and meals were well arranged, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend **Silver Moon Adventure** to anyone planning a solo trek in Nepal. If you have Dipak as your guide, you're in excellent hands. I would definitely choose this company again for my next Himalayan adventure! 🌄🥾#MardiHimal #SoloTrekking #NepalTravel #SilverMoonAdventureandTours

 Verified ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable solo trek! As a solo traveler, I couldn't have asked for a better experience on the 5-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Silver Moon Adventure. From day one, I felt completely safe, welcomed, and well taken care of. My guide was incredible—friendly, professional, and full of knowledge about the mountains, local villages, and trail. The itinerary was perfectly paced, taking us through beautiful forests and culture-rich Gurung villages before that breathtaking sunrise at Base Camp. Meals, tea houses, and logistics were handled seamlessly every step of the way, making the entire journey completely stress-free. If you’re planning to trek in Nepal—especially solo—I can't recommend Silver Moon Adventure enough. Thank you for such a memorable adventure, I’d trek with you again in a heartbeat! 🏔️✨

 Verified It was good experience sightseeing at Kathmandu My trip with Silver Moon Adventure was truly unforgettable. Exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu was an amazing experience, with each place showcasing Nepal's rich history, culture, and architectural beauty. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the monasteries in Pharping. The peaceful atmosphere and meditation experience were deeply spiritual and left me feeling calm and inspired. It was a unique opportunity that I will always remember. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team at Silver Moon Adventure for organizing such a wonderful journey and introducing me to these special places.

I recently completed the 5-day Mardi Himal Trek with a group of 6 people, organized by Silver Moon Adventure, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Our guide, Dipak, was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the trek. He made sure everyone in the group was safe, comfortable, and enjoying the journey. His friendly attitude and local knowledge made the experience even more memorable. The trek itself was stunning, with beautiful forests, peaceful trails, and breathtaking mountain views, especially from Mardi Himal View Point. Everything was well organized, including the accommodation, meals, and daily itinerary, allowing us to fully enjoy the adventure without any worries. I highly recommend Silver Moon Adventure to anyone planning the Mardi Himal Trek. A big thank you to Dipak for making our trip so enjoyable and unforgettable!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mohare Danda & Poon Hill Combined Trek Silvermoon provides good service pre & post and during trekking, which makes the clients feel special and well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone who does not know which trekking agent to go to. I will go back to Silvermoon for my future trekking in Nepal!
