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. Trekking in the Annapurna foothills to the view point at Poon Hill offering you unobstructed mountain views.
An easy trek 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. This trekking is not recommended during the raining season.
Annapurna Panorama
After a Stiff climb to Ghorepani for great views of Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Tukuche peak, Dhampus peak, Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Machhapuchhare, Annapurna 1 and Tarke Kang (formerly) known as glacier Dome. An Early-morning excursion to Poon hill (3210m), about an hours climb, provides an even better unobstructed view of the Himalayan.
Ghorepani means “horse water” and it is no doubt a welcome watering stop for the tems of horse, mules and ponies that carry loads between pokhara and Jomsom. This trek return through Ghandruk, a large Gurung village.
