5-Day Private Poon Hill & Ghandruk Trekking Tour
The Poon Hill trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal, starting from Pokhara, is a popular short trek known as the small Annapurna Circuit. It winds through quaint villages and stunning rhododendron forests, with breathtaking views of the Annapurna mountain range including peaks like Dhaulagiri and Annapurna I. During spring (March-April), the blooming rhododendrons create a paradise-like atmosphere. The highlight of the trek is the sunrise view from Poon Hill (3,210 m). Although the trail has some ups and downs, it's not challenging and only requires basic fitness. The ascent to Ulleri with over 3000 stone steps is challenging but manageable.
