Hence as soon as you finish eating your breakfast, your trek guide will have you carry your bags once again for a thrilling hike to Ulleri. And doing so will require you to walk on 3200 stone steps. This can be a bit hard for you at first. However, once you catch the rhythm, you will eventually find it alright to walk. One of the very important thing to do while hiking on these kinds of trail is that you must always make sure to take in the sights around you. The spectacular hills, blue sky, clouds and people around you will be a worthwhile sight to remember. Later we will begin to notice the environment changing around us from parsley scattered trees and farmlands to a more rain-forest like region. And then we will end our day by reaching Ghorepani.

Even though Ghorepani is already a very stunning place to stay during our adventure trek. We surely can’t just walk away from Ghorepani without hiking up to Poonhill Trek (3,260m).
