Annapurna Panorama Poon Hill Trek

11 days

Trip Snapshot

Annapurna Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is one of the shortest and classic trekking trails in the lower part of the Annapurna region. The trek passes through traditional villages, terraced farms, and rhododendron forests and culminates at the top of Poon Hill (3210m), making a comfortable trek circuit. Poon Hill is probably the most popular hill station in the Annapurna trek to watch the sunrise and sunset views including the Himalayan panorama of Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Tukuche Peak (6920m), Nilgiri (), Baraha Shikhar. This short trek to Annapurna Ghorepani Poon Hill starts and ends at Pokhara with stops at Ulleri (1960m), and scenic villages of Ghorepani (2865m), Ghandruk (1940m) inhabited by Magar and Gurung ethnic communities. It is an easy trek allowing for slow gain in altitude and enough time for acclimatization. This short holiday trek is possible in any season and is suitable for honeymoon couples, families, children, and people of all ages.
