Nayapul is a small but very important village in the Annapurna region of Nepal. The name “Nayapul” literally means “New Bridge.” This charming spot is located at the edge of the Pokhara–Baglung Highway, around a 1.5 to 2-hour drive from Pokhara. It is not just a simple village – it is the main starting point of many famous treks such as the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, Mardi Himal Trek, and Annapurna Circuit side trips. Because of this, Nayapul is often called the “gateway” to the Annapurna Himalayas.
