It is one of the most popular trekking destination which offers impressive and natural scenery, marvelous views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre and Himchuli. That place is used to be a rest place for an ancient trader where they found water ‘pani’ (in Nepali) for their horses’ghoda’ (in Nepali), thus leading to the nomenclature as Ghorepani.

From the South-East direction, it takes 10 hours to Reach by foot from the village of Birethanti with trekkers.
