4-Day Private Poon Hill Trekking Tour
Embark on a scenic and invigorating journey through the Annapurna region in Nepal with the popular Poon Hill Trek. Also known as the short Annapurna Circuit Trek, this idyllic trail showcases the beauty of the region with its picturesque villages and stunning rhododendron forests. In spring (March-April), the blooming rhododendrons create a paradise-like ambiance. The highlight of the trek is the early morning hike to Poon Hill (3,210 m), where you will be treated to a breathtaking sunrise view of the entire Annapurna range, including the majestic peaks of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Annapurna I (8,091 m), Machhapuchhre (6,998 m), and more. Although the trail requires some ups and downs, it is suitable for anyone with basic fitness. The ascent to Ulleri may be challenging with its over 3,000 stone steps, but the experience is well worth the effort.
