Poon Hill Sunrise Trek

Poon Hill Sunrise Trek

If you have only a week, Poon Hill is the trek to choose. A gentle itinerary of 4–6 hour days takes you from Pokhara through Magar and Gurung villages to a 3,210 m viewpoint where, at dawn, 8,000 m peaks catch the first light.

Departures run every Saturday through the season, so you can pick any weekend that suits you. Accommodation is in friendly teahouses, and the pace is relaxed enough for first-time trekkers and active families.

Trip highlights

  • Ulleri staircase — 3,300 steps through terraced fields

  • Ghorepani rhododendron forest, spectacular in March–April

  • Sunrise from Poon Hill with Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Machapuchare

  • Overnight in Tadapani with close views of Annapurna South

  • Traditional Gurung villages and local tea houses

Who is this trip for?

First-time trekkers, families with teenagers, and anyone who wants Himalayan views without a long expedition. Moderate fitness is enough.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The Annapurna Base Camp trek climbs from subtropical terraces to a glacial amphitheatre ringed by seven peaks above 7,000 m. It is the most rewarding teahouse trek in Nepal for the time it takes, with comfortable lodges every few hours and no technical climbing.

You walk with a licensed guide and a porter for every two trekkers, in a small group capped at 12, at a pace that leaves a full rest day-equivalent for acclimatisation. Altitude is gained gradually, with a sleep at 2,170 m, 3,200 m and 3,700 m before the final push to 4,130 m.

Trip highlights

  • Sunrise over Annapurna South from the Ghandruk viewpoint

  • The 2,000-step stone staircase to Chomrong

  • Machapuchare (Fishtail) Base Camp at 3,700 m

  • Annapurna Sanctuary at 4,130 m with 360° views

  • Soak tired legs in the natural hot springs at Jhinu Danda

  • Gurung hospitality: home-cooked dal bhat and village homestays

Who is this trip for?

Reasonably fit walkers who can hike 5–7 hours a day for a week. No previous trekking experience is required, but a few weeks of cardio training makes a big difference at altitude.
