Known as the ‘mini’ Annapurna circuit, this is a popular trek in Nepal that is preferred by most backpackers looking for some peace and quiet in the vast Himalayan forests. The highest elevation you will reach (3,210m) and for those who reach the famous high mountain, an important part of the trip is an early morning tryst with nature at Poon Hill with a magnificent sunrise over the Himalayas where the mountains stretch far into the distance. The eye moves towards northern Tibet and western Dhaulagiri mountains and then swings to the east with a wonderful view of the Annapurna mountains.
The route passes through rhododendron forests and charming traditional villages of Ghandruk, inhabited by families of brave Gurkha soldiers who served in the Indian and British armies; This is a great opportunity to witness the culture and traditions of the Nepalese countryside. As we traverse the trails, the varied views of the snow-capped peaks of the Annapurna range and the sacred Mount Fistel, are further rewards of this venture. It is not a difficult trek but it helps if you have a reasonable degree of fitness. This trek is considered to be the perfect introduction to warm-up for any challenging trek you want to do big time in the future…in the wild where beauty is always natural…’Annapurna Poonhill Trek tells you. When you pull over somewhere to rest, you look up to the heavens and thank God for the lovely beauty around you and say to yourself ‘what a wonderful world’.
