Poon Hill Trek
The Annapurna region’s Poon Hill Trek offers breathtaking vistas of snow-capped mountains, lush woods, and beautiful villages. The high ascents and descents make the walk physically demanding yet rewarding. The trek’s highlight is climbing Poon Hill for sunrise vistas of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. Cross suspension bridges, go through lush rhododendron forests, and visit Gurung and Magar villages on the walk.
Trekkers can meet locals, try their food, and learn about their culture. The Trek is a fascinating excursion that combines breathtaking natural beauty with cultural immersion, making it popular with trekkers of all levels.
The Poon Hill Trek is also renowned as the Annapurna Sunrise Trek and that is because everyone is hiking to that famous spot on Poon Hill where you can see the beautiful sunrise view of the Annapurna Range, one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world.
On the first day of your trek, you will drive to Sudame through Nayapul which takes about 3-4 hours. Then you will skip the walk on the off-road trail that other trekkers use on the first day of the trek and directly get off the jeep at Tikhungga. From here you will ascend to Gorepani and spend the night there.
Early in the morning before sunrise, you will like to Poon Hill within 2 days which takes about hours or less. The major highlight of this trek is the stunning view of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Macchapuchhre, and other mountains. Before descending back to Ghorepani, spend your time witnessing the beauty of the Annapurna region. Pack your bags and get ready to descend to Tikhendhunga.
From Tikhedhunga, drive to Pokhara where your trek to Poon Hill Trek ends finally.
