The trek to Ghorepani - Poon Hill (Pun Hill) which
is located in Annapurna region, is truly called as
all the best of the trekking in Nepal.
The trek offers the spectacular mountain scenery along
with charming villages inhabited particularly by the
Gurungs & Magars, dense rhododendron forests full
of birds and deep sub-tropical valleys, all set below
the Annapurnas with the picturesque peak of Machhapuchhare
(Fishtail Peak) dominating the skyline.
One of the important highlight of this trip is to
make a climb on Poon Hill, possibly the most spectacular
mountain scapes on Earth. When sun rises, it touches
the snow-capped summits the Himalayan giants, Dhaulagiri
(8,167m) and Annapurna (8,091m) along with a maze
of other peaks, there gradually appear, just like
magic that your eye could not believe.
Besides, during journey, you are rewarded by the natural
beauties in your each & every footsteps.
