The Annapurna Region – Poon Hill Trek (10 Days / 9 Nights) is a scenic Himalayan adventure combining cultural exploration and mountain trekking. The journey begins in Kathmandu with visits to ancient temples and UNESCO sites, followed by a beautiful drive to Pokhara — the gateway to the Annapurnas. The trek itself offers lush forests, waterfalls, charming Gurung villages, and the iconic sunrise from Poon Hill (3210 m), where the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges glow in golden light. It is one of Nepal’s most rewarding short treks, suitable for beginners and families, yet rich in natural beauty and cultural experiences.
