Poon Hill trekking is a family trekking package in Annapurna Trekking Region in Nepal. You will be exploring the great view of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri from the top hills of Poon Hill. A beautiful sunrise is a major attraction of this place and the panoramic view during sunrise is beyond your imagination. As you can have lots of panoramic views from the top this route is also known as the Annapurna Panorama Trek.
Gurung and Magar are the main castes who live in this area. Some of the local Buddhists have made beautiful monasteries on our route to reach Poonhill and Ghorepani. Short trekking of 4-5 days from Kathmandu will give you many experiences, adventures, and panoramic views. The green hills around our route are also awesome to stare at.
