Poonhill Trek:

The Poon Hill Trek is a short and accessible route in the Annapurna region, often chosen by first-time trekkers. The trail follows old trade paths and passes through rhododendron forest, terraced fields, and traditional villages. It is also popular among birdwatchers and nature-focused travelers due to its forested sections and varied plant life.

The journey begins with a drive from Pokhara to Nayapul, followed by walking trails that lead through villages and hillside paths. Ghorepani is one of the main stops along the route, set within forested slopes and used as a base for the early morning hike to Poon Hill. A side visit to Ghandruk village is also common, where stone houses and Gurung culture shape daily life.

The main highlight is Poon Hill at 3,210 meters. A short pre-dawn hike from Ghorepani leads to the viewpoint, where sunrise brings clear views across the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. From this ridge, trekkers can see peaks such as Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, and Nilgiri, along with many surrounding ridgelines.

This is an easy to moderate trek with daily walking times of around 4 to 5 hours. Accommodation is in teahouses along the route. The Poon Hill Trek is suitable for beginners, families, and travelers who want a short mountain walk with strong sunrise views and village experiences.
