Ghorepani Poonhill Trekking |
Annapurna Ghorepani Poonhill
trek is a colourful short foray into the
Annapurna region. The trail winds through
patchwork valleys, dense mossy forests and past
icy waterfalls where you can stop to cool your
face. Around every corner is a tantalizing
glimpse of the high mountains, whole horizons of
which will be revealed to you as you reach the
high points of your trek.
This trek in the Annapurna foothills to the view
point on Poon Hill offers all the best of
trekking in Nepal. Enjoy trekking in the
spectacular mountain scenery through charming
villages inhabited 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 (Fish Tail Peak) dominating the
skyline. At the climax of this trek you will
climb Poon Hill at dawn to enjoy one of the most
spectacular mountain scapes on Earth. As the sun
touches the snow-capped summits the Himalayan
giants, Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and Annapurna
(8,091m) along with a maze of other peaks,
slowly begin to appear, like magic, before our
eyes. A rewarding trek that can be enjoyed by
every lover of nature and beautiful landscape |
