Pokhara to Ulleri
You'll arrive in Pokhara and settle in for the night. Early the next morning, a short drive takes you to Nayapul or Bhirethati village by the Modi River where the trek actually begins.

By afternoon, you're climbing toward Tirkhedhunga, a scenic farm village with waterfalls nearby. From there, stone-paved steps lead you up to Ulleri village perched on a high ridge, where you'll stay the night after a few challenging hours of hiking.

You're heading toward Ghorepani village, which has those distinctive blue-painted houses. The settlement is home to the Poon people, part of the Magar ethnic tribe. Ghorepani sits at the base of Poon Hill, and from here you'll get your first real views of Mt. Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, and Vara-Shikar.
