Annapurna Poon Hill Budget Trek is a short circular trek that offers a little more of trekking in Nepal to you and introduces you to the famed 50km Annapurna region and its peoples: for families or trekkers with moderate fitness and limited time. From Poonhill, the panorama of Annapurna (8091m), Dhaulagiri (8167m), Manaslu (8157m) and Machhapuchhre (6993m) among other peaks glistening golden in the morning sun is an unforgettable sight.
Annapurna Poon Hill Budget Trek begins from your hotel in Pokhara with a drive over the middle hills to the trailhead at Nayapul. Trek through a mix of terraced farmlands and glorious rhododendron, oak and bamboo forests. From ridges there are spectacular views of the 6 000m/19 600ft snow clad peaks of the range.
A highlight is the early morning walk from Ghorepani to Nepal’s most visited physical landmark: the grassy summit of Poon Hill (3 210m/10 530ft). It offers magnificent sunrise views that include Dhaulagiri I, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, the fish-tailed peak of sacred Machhapuchhare and Manaslu.
