The trek to Ghorepani - Poon Hill which is located in Annapurna region, is truly considered the best of the trekking in Nepal. The trek is just a little more difficult for entry level but has previously been undertaken by people well in their 50s and 60s. The trek offers the spectacular mountain scenery along with charming villages inhabited particularly by the Gurungs & Magars, dense rhododendron forests full of birds and deep sub-tropical valleys, all set below the Annapurna`s with the picturesque peak of Machhapuchhare (Fishtail Peak) dominating the skyline.
One of the important highlight of this trip is to make a climb on Poon Hill, possibly the most spectacular mountain escapes on Earth. When sun rises, it touches the snow-capped summits the Himalayan giants, Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and Annapurna (8,091m) along with a maze of other peaks gradually appearing, just like magic that your eye could not believe. Besides, during journey, you are rewarded by the natural beauties in your each & every footstep.
