Должен ли я начать поход на холм Пун из Наяпула, Уллери или Тихедхунги?

Быстрый ответ

Start the Poon Hill Trek from Nayapul for the classic full route with the 3,300 stone steps to Ulleri, from Ulleri to skip the steps and save 4 hours, or from Tikhedhunga for a middle option with direct lodge access. Nayapul is the standard choice for first time trekkers. Ulleri is the choice for trekkers with limited time or knee issues.

подробная разбив

The Poon Hill Trek is the most popular short Annapurna route, running 3 to 5 days from Pokhara to the 3,210 metre Poon Hill viewpoint and back. The trail starts from one of three points along the Modi Khola valley: Nayapul at 1,070 metres, Tikhedhunga at 1,540 metres, or Ulleri at 2,070 metres.

Nayapul is the classic start. The 1.5 hour drive from Pokhara reaches Nayapul bazaar, where the trek crosses the Modi Khola bridge and climbs through Birethanti, Sudame, and Tikhedhunga before the famous 3,300 stone steps to Ulleri. Day 1 is 5 to 6 hours with the 600 metre stair climb at the end.

Tikhedhunga is the middle start. The 2 hour drive from Pokhara reaches Tikhedhunga directly, skipping the 4 hour walk from Nayapul. Day 1 is 3 to 4 hours with the stone steps. Trekkers still do the Ulleri steps but skip the lower valley walk.

Ulleri is the upper start. The 3 hour drive from Pokhara via a rough 4WD road reaches Ulleri directly, skipping both the lower valley walk and the stone steps. Day 1 is 2 to 3 hours to Ghorepani. This is the choice for trekkers with knee issues or limited time.

Lodge strategy. Trekkers starting from any of the three points typically sleep at Ghorepani on day 1.

Советы по бронированию

Book the Pokhara to start point taxi through your Pokhara hotel or trekking agency. Sedan to Nayapul costs $20 to $35. 4WD jeep to Ulleri costs $60 to $90.

Book the Ghorepani lodge 1 to 2 weeks ahead for October and November. Ghorepani has 20 plus lodges but they fill by mid afternoon in peak season.

Carry USD 100 to 150 in cash for 4 days. Lodges accept Nepali rupees only. The nearest ATM is at Nayapul. Exchange in Pokhara before the start.

Сравнение с альтернативами

Compared with each other, the three start points give the same final Poon Hill view. The trade-off is time, cost, and physical effort.

Compared with starting from Kimche via the Annapurna Sanctuary road, the Nayapul start gives the classic Poon Hill experience. Kimche is the shortcut to Ghandruk for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek.

Compared with the Mohare Danda start from Pokhara, all three Poon Hill starts are more crowded but more developed on lodges.

Распространенные ошибки, которых следует избегать

Booking Ulleri 4WD without confirming road status. The Ulleri road closes in monsoon and after heavy rain.

Starting from Nayapul with only 3 days total. The 3-day Poon Hill from Nayapul is rushed with 6 to 7 hour days. Use Ulleri start for a 3-day trip.

Skipping the dawn Poon Hill hike. The 45 minute pre dawn climb from Ghorepani to Poon Hill at 3,210 metres is the highlight.
