Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t see the amazing Himalayas on a short trek! The Poon Hill Trek is the perfect short trek that takes you into the very heart of the most scenic mountain range of the Himalayas – the Annapurna's. In just four days, you can witness the magnificent sunrises and amazing snow capped peaks of the world’s tallest mountains.
The Poon Hill Trek is considered a moderately easy trek. The highest elevation is Poon Hill at 3,221 meters (10,568 ft.), while most of the trek is well below that elevation. You will be able to see three of the world’s highest mountains (Dhaulagiri #7, Manaslu #8 and Annapurna I #10) in all of their sublime glory. And the morning sunrise from Poon Hill is exhilarating to say the least. In addition, twenty additional Himalayan peaks are visible while on the Poon Hill Trek.
