    Right after waking early in the morning, we rush towards the viewpoint known as Poon hill to witness one of the best sunrises your eyes can see. The magnificent panorama view is when you realize Nepal is actually beautiful. Poon hill is the greatest point along this journey which a photographer doesn’t want to leave. Witness the Himalayas, including the Annapurna, Bahari Shikhar, Hiuchuli, Nilgiri, Dhaulagir, Manaslu, Machhapuchhre, and other peaks. With a heavy heart and a beautiful portrayal of the Himalayas we’ll return to the lodge in Ghorepani where breakfast will be waiting for your arrival. With the delicious breakfast we started our journey towards the descend to Tadapani. In about average it will be a long day of walking around 7-8 hours including the climb of the Poonhill but since we’ll be descending it will be much easier than it sounds also with the scenery along the way the day will quickly pass by, and we’ll reach Tadapani making our final destination for the day.

    It’s amazing how the days go by so quickly. It's the 4th day, the last day in the hills, the day which ends in the heart of Nepal Pokhara but wait we still have a full day to enjoy. After our last breakfast on the hill, we started our downhill journey towards Ghandruk. We’ll descend through Rhododendron and Oak woodland; we'll get the chance to witness wildflowers making it another memorable thing about this journey. Enjoying the journey, you will not realize that you’ll have reached Ghandruk, a village filled with local people, beautiful houses and smelling the same fresh air that you’ve smelled in the Ghorepani. Ghandruk is one the most popular destinations even among Nepali tourists as it provides a beautiful scenery of Annapurna South,Annapurna III, Machhapurchare, Gangapurna and Hiuchuli. The village provides a distinctive architectural design, esmerizing this view, you’ll leave the walking trail and get in vehicle for 3 hours journey towards Pokhara
