The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is arguably the best trek in Nepal to see one of the best mountain views of the Himalayas without having to spend weeks on the trail. This is the shortest version we offer but don't be fooled! It's a punchy trail that takes you to Poon Hill, an elevated spot at 3210 metres in the Annapurna foothills. From here you can see the 8000 meter peaks of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. This short 5-day trip will take you up and down the same route, truly the quickest way to a million dollar view!
This version of the trek up Poon Hill offers the opportunity to explore the culture, biodiversity of the region and rare mountain wildlife such as brown dipper, butterflies, barking deer in the dense rhododendron and bamboo forests. The trek is culturally rich as we visit the Gurung and Magar villages. These villages are home to the world’s most courageous warriors, the Gurkhas. As a whole, this Poon Hill trek is the best way to explore the natural and cultural heritages of Annapurna region.
