Description
Offering breathtaking panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, including Annapurna and Dhaulagiri.
Poon Hill is a popular trekking destination in the Annapurna region of the Himalayas in Nepal. It is renowned for offering breathtaking panoramic views of some of the world's highest peaks, including Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. Situated at an elevation of about 3,210 meters (10,531 feet), Poon Hill is often reached as part of the Annapurna Circuit or as a shorter trek known as the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek.
The trek to Poon Hill typically begins from Nayapul and passes through picturesque villages, terraced fields, and dense rhododendron forests. Ghorepani, a charming village with teahouses and lodges, serves as a common stop for trekkers. The final ascent to Poon Hill is usually undertaken early in the morning to witness the sunrise over the stunning mountain vistas. The trek is well-suited for those seeking a relatively shorter and less strenuous trekking experience while still enjoying the awe-inspiring beauty of the Himalayas.
