- Thank you for watching my Ghorepani Poon Hill trek video. Visit my website for lots more travel and food - migrationology.com/
Normally I don't make videos this long, but since I have been getting some requests for longer videos, I decided to try something a little different with this video and try something a little more like a documentary of reality type of show.
Nepal was truly an amazing country, and part of the reason I visited was to do a trek in the Himalayas, a dream of mine. So after spending some time in Kathmandu, we took a bus to Pokhara in order to check out the situation and arrange our Ghorepani Poon Hill trek in the Annapurna mountain range, located just an hour drive from the city of Pokhara.
We started things off by first taking a taxi from Pokhara to Nayapul which cost 1500 Nepali Rupees. This is a popular starting point for the hike and there were several other groups also beginning. Our first day we trekked from the town of Nayapul to the town of Tikhedunga. For most of day one, we walked along a gravel road, passing villagers, homes, and farms along the way. We took a break to eat lunch, and I ate something known as dal bhat, which is rice with mixed vegetables and dal soup. As we continued to hike, the views became better and better, but nothing compared to what we'd see in the following days. We finally arrived to Tikhedunga, and our small guest house was located at the top of a small hill, next to a stream. It was a beautiful quiet location and the atmosphere was amazing, as was the fresh air. For dinner that night I enjoyed a plate of rice accompanied by a can of fish which I had brought and a plate of fried noodles.
On day two of the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek I woke up early and ate breakfast. In order to save money, I had brought some bags of muesli, which is very cheap to buy in Pokhara or Kathmandu. I also purchased a cup of chai from the guest house. After a lovely breakfast we continued hiking the trail en-route today to Ghorepani, the town at the peak of our trek. The trail was gorgeous and we climbed up and up and up, taking frequent little breaks to drink water and to chow down on power snacks like peanuts and some chocolate. For lunch we took a break at a local restaurant where I ordered dal bhat along with some delicious buffali sukuti, dried meat. It was pretty delicious and some needed protein. The views were absolutely marvelous, and the highlight of the day was catching the first glimpse of the ice covered Himalayan peaks of Nepal! On day two of the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek, we arrived to Ghorepani extremely tired, hungry, and cold. We checked in to our guest house, showered, put on our warm down jackets which we had rented, and then enjoyed sipping on hot cups of tea by the fire. It began to hail and snow, but we could still see the unbelievable views of the Annapurna mountains. We decided to sleep quite early as the next day we were going to wake up early in the morning to climb to the top of Poon Hill for the sunrise view of the Himalayas.
Hope you enjoyed part one of my Ghorepani Poon Hill trek video, be sure to now watch part two for the conclusion and lots of stunning scenery.

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek - Beauty of Nepal (Part 1)
Awesome video Mark, when you entered the first Guest House it was like I was right there with you...so well is the atmosphere of the place captured!
Can you give me a hint of how much overall cost you spent on this trip? Mark Wiens
***** i can
+Dwi Rianto from pokhara to ghorepani, poon hill and ghandruk and return back to pokhara it cost near about nrs 20000
😉😉
Hey Paul, thanks a lot for watching. Yes there have been some things that I don't like (but haven't made any videos), but I really do like most things!
Hey Izzy, I think just about all your questions were answered. But yes both they have to transport food up the mountain (usually by mule), and because it's all tourists, that's why the food is much higher than in the cities. That being said, it's still well worth it to eat hot fresh meals. Also, originally I thought the portions were small, and they are at first, but they'll give you more and more until you're full - they just start out small so they don't waste.
Mark Wiens yea 🤗
ghorepani is one of the best and beautiful place.
Can’t believe you bought that shitty Tin food in real villages instead to trying new foods! You have 8 million subscribers and you know how much money that makes ?? You are so mean mad I lost the respect for your from this point.
This is help for those poor villagers common man. I visit Nepal every 4 years and the food prices in any trekking route is 500 RS ( $4) only and the price for noodle and Momo is less then that which is cheap cheap and cheap!!!!!!!! Specially food prices are the same for locals and foreigners and my income is just a Restaurent manager india.
With the amount of your income I can easily afford ti travel the world yes whole of the planet earth.
Man i am really shocked today!

Hahah, she was skeptical at first, but I'm so happy my wife was willing to do it with me, and though she was incredibly sore she did enjoy it. I hope she'll do one again in the future, and I hope you can convince your wife too!
When are you going to be back again? After the mess is over hope to see you there again. The place have changed hope you enjoy everybit of Nepal and do study before visiting. For adventure its a place to be for food its just okay. But there has been lot of changes in these periods the worse if I remember was earthquake and the best is they are still recovering, reconstructing the damage made by the earthquake which was couple of years back . I hope you'll be back again.
Please come to nepal again love from Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🙏🙏
Yes, great to hear you're from Nepal Sunil!

Hey, thanks a lot for watching. Great to hear you're coming back to Bangkok, yes that would be awesome!
Wow you literally replied everyone. What an amazing human being you are Mark. I have been watching you since a long time. Your positivity and happy face always encourages me and our family to be happy on what we have right now.
Awesome to hear that Abiraj, you have a beautiful country!
I came across this video 5 years back while preparing for a trek in Nepal. This is also the first video of Mark that I watched and since then have been watching almost all your videos. Now after several treks in Nepal and especially to ABC, Dal BAHT is still a favourite for me while in Nepal. Thanks Mark.
Thank you Jimmy, we actually had a guide with us - it was much easier!
I fully agree, well said, thanks!
Cool to hear that, thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot, yes the longest video I've ever done. Thanks for watching!

Totally
Yes, it's carried up the mountain!
Great, thanks for watching!
When we recently went to Finland we packed a bunch of cheap goodies as well - muesli, granola bars and canned nuts. As in your situation, it definitely helped us shave our costs down a bit.
Hey Sam and Audrey, glad you do stuff like this too, it really does save in the long run!
Mark Wiens come to guyana south america

watching in 2023, came from watching your vlog of thailand and I am so happy you were in Nepal 10 years ago..... thanks a lot ....
Awesome nepal n awesome mark ...thanks mark for uploading this vodeo ...
This was so beautifully documented.. I tried watching a number of videos including more formal documentaries on this area and Mark yours was definitely by far, better than most. The footage was inspiring, you captured the views in a way that made me feel like I was there and once again your description of the traditional food was accurate and informative. I also appreciate how you share what the accommodation is like.. often overlooked by many vlogs. So interesting I had to share these 2 episodes with my family. Thank you for doing such an amazing job yet again. Big Thumbs Up from Australia 🇦🇺

hi marl, saw this older vid. wow that place is beautiful, but man what a hike. on to part 2 :)
Probably this is my 100th view. I never get bored of watching your videos. You are born to be a blogger.
Hey, yes we hired a trekking guide, it was much easier and it allowed me to focus on writing and filming. It could be done without at guide, but it was a lot easier with a guide!
I regularly watch all you food vlogs on youtube and since i am from Nepal loved this Ghorepani and Poon Hill Trek vlog pretty much. Always love your food vlog and really love your expression once you devour every food.
Amazing trek...beautiful country side
I searched it online, and actually we had a guide with us to so that I didn't have to worry about maps and trails. It was just my wife and I.
U guys make us mote proud
Thank you Sam!
I really appreciate it, thank you so much for your support!

I remember you enjoying daal, bhaat and aloo matar (green peas, potato) vegetable in an other video, really like the way you present our Nepal and its food. Keep on the good work and enjoy Nepal.

Thanks a lot for watching Tom!
This October (2017) I did the Annapurna circle (incl. Thorung La pass) trek including the Poon Hill part. The Poon Hill day I traveled from Ghorepani to the top of Poon Hill. After the sun was up I went back to Ghorepani to get some breakfast over there and I walked the same day down to Nayapul.
What I found out was that the prices on Poon Hill were much higher then on the circle. Also on the stairs it was much busier then on the circle. Much more day people. Though it's a very nice trek.
Awesome journey you are on Mark. Thanks for bringing us along.
Ghandruk/ Homestay/ Poon Hill / The beauty of Himalayas , The view of Sunrise in the morning wow Heaven ........
Can’t believe you been to our Country too .
Thanks for your visit.
