Poon Hill (Pun Hill) which is located in the Heart of the Annapurna region is truly called the best trekking in Nepal. This is considered a short and sweet trek. The trek offers the spectacular mountain scenery along with charming villages inhabited particularly by the Gurungs & Magars people, dense rhododendron forests full of birds, and deep sub-tropical valleys, all set below the Annapurnas Himal with the picturesque peak of Machhapuchhare (Fishtail Peak) dominating the skyline. One of the important highlights of this trip is to make a climb on Poon Hill (sunrise viewpoint), possibly the most spectacular mountain scapes on Earth. When the sun rises, it touches the snow-capped summits of the Himalayan giants, Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Nilgiri, Fishtail, and Annapurna (8,091m) along with a maze of other peaks, there gradually appear, just like magic that your eye could not believe. We drive you to the beautiful city Pokhara to experience its natural beauty and the panoramic views of over 8000 meters Mt. Annapurna, Manaslu, and Dhaulagiri. Always twinkling view of Machhapuchre (fishtail) is an attraction.
