1. Poon Hill Sunrise Trek to view the spectacular peaks of the Annapurna Himal in central Nepal
will offer you the perfect ‘first adventure’ and taste of the magnificent Himalayan trekking-world
that Nepal offers. While not climbing higher than 3210m, the views from Poon Hill, and other
high ridges along this circular route, will create unforgettable memories of this fascinating
region.
Beginning at the comfortable altitude of 1100m the trail follows the ridges created by the
Bhurungdi Khola and takes you through terraced farmlands and bamboo forests – along with
friendly local people as they move from village to village on their daily tasks.
This Poon Hill Sunrise trekking, second day passes through ancient bird-filled forests of
rhododendron, oak, maple and pine as you climb to the prosperous village of Ghorepani. From
here, an early morning climb to the summit of Poon Hill offers breathtaking views of some of
Nepal’s highest and most dramatic peaks, including three of the world’s 14 8000m peaks:
Dhaulagiri, Annapurna 1 and Manaslu.
The ridges between Ghorepani and Ghandruk offer yet more views of the high peaks in addition
to your experience of the green middle hills and terraced farmlands. The trail from Ghandruk
back to Nayapul and your bus to Kathmandu follows the rushing Modi Khola that carries glacial
waters from the Annapurna Base Camp to the Ganges.
Spring (March - May) and autumn (September - November) are the most popular seasons, but we
offer this trek throughout the year. All you need is a good pair of boots, a day pack, warm
clothing, sleeping bag and camera. Our Annapurna Sunrise trek includes transport,
accommodation, meals, drinking water and showers.
Few people come to Nepal once: if you have enjoyed this trek, enquire about further routes that
would suit your degree of fitness before you leave.
