Situated on the foothills of Annapurna Mountain ranges lies the Poon Hill Ghorepani trek which is one of Nepal’s iconic trails. It offers you a better view of the entire Annapurna range. As your journey starts you come across a few ethnic groups like Gurung and Magar whose unique culture and warm hospitality will amaze you. They are one of the bravest tribes among Gurkhas.
If you trek to Poon Hill during the springtime, you can see rhododendron in full bloom. Machhapuchre acts as a guiding star in the initial stage of the route. In order to cover this route first, we drive to Pokhara and then to Hille. Our hiking then begins from here and for those who are just trekking for the first time, this is a perfect route. Our experienced and well-trained guide will make your trip safe and memorable. All expenses regarding food and lodging will be included in the package.
During the hike venture as you go deep into the wilderness, you will get stunned by settlements where some of the houses are made of stones and earth that exist there for many centuries. The remote area and desolate places will make you wonder how people have been living in these places for a very long time.
The route is ideal, short, and easy so it becomes convenient for trekkers of any age group to trek in Nepal. Besides, you will walk through terraced paddy fields, lush rhododendron, and pine forest.

Watch the sunrise panorama over the famous Annapurna chain from Poon Hill (this point leads the trail to Annapurna base camp) which is the most famous viewpoint in the Annapurna area.
Enjoy the close-up view of the snow-capped peaks. The trip also consists of walking through stone steps, mud and stone cottages, and ancient mountain trails. You will also come across a place called Ghanddruk which is a typical Gurung village.
