The snowy summit of the mesmerizing Himalayas including the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Ranges, the vibrant and unique culture of the Gurung inhabiting the region who offer heartwarming hospitality or the Hilly trail guided by the alluring lush green forests adorned with rhododendron and pine trees which come spring color the entire region in shades of pink, red and white. A mere introduction to the Poon Hill Trek!Poon Hill Trek is one of the best short trekking routes spanning the beloved Annapurna Region with best views of the Himalayas minus the technical difficulty of trekking into high altitudes. And, while each component of the trail can only be described as stunning, it is perhaps the majestic Himalayas including Annapurna South (7,219m), Annapurna I (8,091m, Dhaulagiri (8,167m), LamjungHimal (6,983m), and Machhapuchhre (6997m) alongside countless other Himalayas glistening in the morning sun that puts the cherry on top.

Our journey into the Himalayan paradise of Annapurna Region begins with a lovely drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara blessed with stunning views of the Hilly region and Trishuli River. The first day of the journey ends at Hile reached via Nayapul. Through the famed ascent through the steps of Ulleri, we begin our journey to Ghorepani which, even though can be strenuous at times, is blessed with stunning views of Hilly Nepal and plenty glimpses of the Himalayas. The next day kicks off early with a hike to Poon Hill to witness the majestic Himalayan sunrise and it is not the one to disappoint. The Himalayan panorama stretches as far and wide as eyes can see and the lofty clouds hanging lazily are nowhere to be seen. The snowy summits of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges slowly turn golden to red as the sun creeps over the horizon. Enjoying the enchanting views of sunrise, we begin to descend heading down to Tadapani for the night. We continue our descent to reach the hamlet of Ghandruk adorned with eye-catching views of Machhapuchhre (6,997m) and the heart-warming hospitality of the Gurung.
