Description

Sunrise Poon Hill  trek is considered to be one of the short treks in the Annapurna region.
This trek can be completed in 7 days and is suitable for people of all ages both young and adult,
including families with children. You will walk through beautiful villages and rhododendron
forests, with the backdrop of the Annapurna Himalaya. Poon Hill (3,210m) is the ultimate
destination of this trek. From the viewpoint of Poon Hill, you will see the entire Annapurna
The Himalayan mountain range along with Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Tukuche, and Lamjung Himal. Hiking
up to Poon Hill in the early morning to watch the sunrise over these stunning snow-covered
mountains are something extraordinary and unimaginable.

Sunrise Poon Hill trek starts from the beautiful village Nayapul, after an hour long drive from Pokhara. After crossing the suspension bridge over Modi River, you will gently ascend
through Gurung ethnic villages and farm terraces having enjoyed the views of Mount
Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) while trekking. On the second day you will pass through
rhododendron forest before you reach Ghorepani hill.

Ghorepani is a village in Myagdi District in the Dhaulagiri Zone of northern-central Nepal. It lies 17 kilometres from the district capital of Beni at an elevation of approximately 2874 m (9429 ft). The village lies within the Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA), requiring a national park permit to visit, and contains a number of “guest houses” that provide lodging and meals to mountain trekkers, many of whom spend the night before a pre-dawn trek to the top of nearby Poon Hill (3210m/10531 ft) to watch the sunrise.Ghorepani lies on a major trail linking several other villages as well as the Annapurna Base Camp. From the South-East direction, it can normally be reached by foot from the village of Birethanti in about 10 hours depending on the trekker. However, many trekkers prefer to overnight at one of the lower villages on their way to Ghorepani, covering the distance over two days owing to the steepness of the trail, the increase in altitude and the beauty of the natural surroundings. From the North-West direction, Ghorepani can be reached in about 8–10 hours starting from Tatopani.

Next early morning we make an early
climb for one hour to the Poon hill to watch the spectacular view of the Dhaulagiri, Annapurna,
Nilgiri and other famous mountains of the region. After spending a couple of hours at Poonhill,
we return trek to Ghorepani and have breakfast, After breakfast, we follow the same trail back to Nayapul and Pokhara. Next day we back to Kathmandu by driving then trek is done.
If you are on a short trip to Pokhara and want to do a short trek without spending much time and
budget, the Sunrise-Poon Hill trek is highly recommended to you.
