POON HILL TREK

Poon Hill Trek is a short but still challenging trek into the Annapurna region - perfect for those who don’t have much time but would like to experience all that Nepal offers!

Also known as Ghorepani, this classic trek packs everything in, with paths through rhododendron forests and rice paddies, finishing with spectacular views of beautiful snow-capped Himalayan Mountains. You will be dazzled by its beauty and rich culture: the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is without a doubt one of the best things to do in Nepal.

The sunrise from Poon Hill on the 3rd day of trekking is considered one of the best views in the Himalayas.

This trek is essentially a microcosm of what a longer Nepalese mountain trek is like. You ready?
