Embark on the enchanting Poon Hill trek, a popular short trek in the mesmerizing Annapurna region, often referred to as the small Annapurna Circuit Trek. The trail winds through picturesque villages and stunning rhododendron forests, transforming into a paradise on earth during the springtime (March–April) when the rhododendron trees burst into a myriad of colors. The absolute highlight of the trek is the morning ascent to Poon Hill (3,210 m), offering a breathtaking sunrise and panoramic views of the entire Annapurna range, including the majestic peaks of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Annapurna I (8,091 m), Machhapuchhre (6,998 m), and many others.
While the Poon Hill trek is considered easy, featuring some ups and downs along the way, the ascent to Ulleri with over 3000 stone steps provides a challenging yet manageable experience, requiring only basic fitness.
The itinerary for the Poon Hill trek is designed for a 7-day journey, starting from the scenic city of Pokhara. However, depending on your available time, the trek can be shortened to 5 days. The lodges along the trail offer a diverse menu, ranging from the typical Nepali dahl bath (rice with lentils) to international dishes like pizza and spaghetti. Most places also provide the comfort of hot showers.
Embark on this delightful trek to Poon Hill and immerse yourself in the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Annapurna region.
