Overview

Poonhill Trekking is a popular destination for many foreign and local tourists. It is a hill station with astounding views of the mountains.

This trekking package is uncommon as many aims for Annapurna Base Camp Trek. However, it is equally fun and less time-consuming. Also, it lies in the Annapurna Region, so that you can see the Annapurna Mountain Range from here.

The specialty of Poonhill is that you can see the sunrise over the Annapurna Mountain Range, which is a breathtaking view. Moreover, we have one of the economical packages for short trips, so you might want to consider us.

Highlights of Poonhill Trekking

Exploration of green forests and snowy mountains.
Beautiful sunrise over the Annapurna Range.
Interaction with local villagers.
One of the Biggest Ghandruk Gurung village and Ulleri Magar Village.

After Breakfast at your Hotel in Pokhara, we will take a private car to Nayapul. It takes around an hour to get there. Then, we will start our trek from Nayapul. Along the walk, we come across many local villages, teahouses, rivers, and local villagers.

After we cross the Tikhedunga Khola on the suspension bridge, the route shifts to a steep climb on a stone staircase. After we ascend the hill, we can see Mt. Annapurna south (7219m.) and Hiunchuli (6441m.).

You will see the best sunrise over the mountains and magnificent views of the Himalayas like Annapurna South, Bahari Shikhar, Hiuchuli, Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri ranges, and the whole Annapurna Range.

Once we are done here, we will go back to Ghorepani for breakfast. The trek to Ghandruk starts with quite a steep uphill section to Deurali’s pass. After that, we hike down to Tadapani. We continue to hike to Ghandruk through the Baisi Kharka (Buffalo pasture). From this village, we can yet see views of the snowy peaks.
