Day 14 – Nov 24 – Ghorapani and Poon Hill

This morning we finished the climb to Ghorapani, arriving mid-morning. Ghorapani is located on the crest of the hill that people cross returning straight to Pokhara. Tomorrow we will diverge from that direct route for the last main part of our trip up into the Annapurna Sanctuary.


For today, however, we did the tourist thing and climbed the nearby Poon Hill, which gives a spectacular panorama of the mountains from Dhauligiri through Annapurna to Macchupuchare, which we will see better in a few days. We made it to the top just as the clouds were coming up from the valley, but I was still able to take some clear photos. If the weather is good tomorrow morning, I will come back for some sunrise shots.

We spent the afternoon reading and exploring the small town.
