Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

A short Annapurna classic for sunrise over Dhaulagiri and Annapurna from Poon Hill.

Poon Hill is the introduction we suggest for families and first-time trekkers. The walking is steady, the villages are lively, and the sunrise is the reason people come back to Nepal for longer routes.

Combine it with Pokhara and the daily bus so the whole trip stays simple.
