Breathtaking Views from Poon Hill
The highlight of the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking is reaching the summit of Poon Hill, a focal viewpoint in the lower Annapurna Region, for a spectacular sunrise over snow-capped mountains. This trek, also known as the Annapurna Sunrise Trek, leads you through lush rhododendron and Oak forests, terraced slopes, paddy fields, and diverse vegetation.

Starting Point and Scenic Route: Enjoy the Local Hospitality
The trek begins at Tirkhedunga, a two-hour drive from Pokhara. The trail winds through picturesque Gurung and Magar villages and forests of rhododendron and oak. It includes the famous challenge of ascending more than 3,000 stone steps at Ulleri. Ghorepani, a village at an elevation of approximately 2,874 meters (9,429 ft), serves as a central point of this trek.

Unforgettable Panoramic Views
Poon Hill is renowned as one of the finest viewpoints in western Nepal, offering grand panoramic views of the Mt. Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and Manaslu Himalayan ranges, along with stunning surrounding landscapes. The sunrise view from Poon Hill is particularly breathtaking. Ghandruk, the largest Gurung village in the area, was once the headquarters of the Annapurna Conservation Area Project, ensuring the region remains one of Nepal’s best-conserved eco-tourism destinations. Experience the warm hospitality of the local Gurung and Magar communities as you trek through the Annapurna Conservation Area.
