This trek falls in the Annapurna
foothills with master viewpoints on Poonhill where we get to see some of the
highest peaks in the world…this trip offers all the best of trekking in Nepal.
Enjoy trekking in the midst of spectacular mountain scenery through charismatic
villages inhabited by the Gurungs and Magars who inhabit this region the most.
We hike through dense rhododendron forests full of different bird species and
deep sub-tropical valleys, all set below the Annapurna with the striking peaks
of Machhapuchhare (Fish Tail Peak) dominating the skyline hereabouts.
This wonderful trek climaxes as you climb Poonhill at the break of dawn to enjoy one of the most spectacular mountain senescence on Earth. As the sun touches the snow-capped summits the Himalayan giants, Dhaulagiri (8,167m.) and Annapurna at (8,091m.) along with a fantastic display of other peaks, slowly begin to appear like magic before your eyes, leaving you breathless for some moments. This is a highly rewarding trek that can be enjoyed by those who truly love nature and the beauty that comes with it.
