Overview

The Annapurna Base Camp via Poon Hill Trek combines two of Nepal's most popular trekking routes into one unforgettable Himalayan adventure. Beginning with the famous sunrise viewpoint at Poon Hill (3,210 m), the trail continues through beautiful Gurung villages, dense rhododendron forests, and dramatic river valleys before reaching the spectacular Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m)

Along the way, trekkers experience authentic mountain culture, peaceful teahouse accommodation, and breathtaking scenery. Highlights include Ghorepani, Tadapani, Chhomrong, Bamboo, Dovan, Deurali, Machhapuchhre Base Camp, and finally Annapurna Base Camp, surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks.
This trek is ideal for travelers seeking both cultural experiences and high mountain scenery while avoiding technical climbing. It offers magnificent views of Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Hiunchuli, Gangapurna, and Gandharvachuli, making it one of Nepal's most rewarding trekking adventures.
