5-Day Poon Hill Trek from Kathmandu with Annapurna Sunrise Views

Be escorted from your hotel at 6:30 am in Kathmandu by a representative of your Poon Hill tour guide.

Drive through lush green forests, meandering roads through the hills, and gracefully flowing riversides for 6 to 7 hours. You will also come across lively markets and clusters of villages on the way.

Have a buffet lunch at one of the roadside restaurants.

Be mesmerized by the scenic delights of the city.

Go boating on Fewa Lake, if time permits, as the boating facility closes early. The lake overlooks the Annapurna Himalayan Range.

Prepare for the trek in the evening.

Drive by local bus or taxi from your hotel to Nayapul (1,050 m).

Start your Poon Hill panorama trek from Nayapul.

Ascend through alpine forests, bamboo forests, grasslands, and shrublands, taking in many picturesque views of the northern hilly region of Western Nepal.

Stay overnight at Ulleri, a very beautiful and serene town with folk culture, and witness its fine hospitality.

Head up to Poon Hill early in the morning, at around 4:00 or 4:30, to a viewpoint for a panoramic sunrise view.

See a mesmerizing sunrise from this place. After an hour's uphill walk in the cold breeze, sipping coffee or tea sold by a vendor there while looking at the sun rising over the Dhaulagiri Mountain Range, Annapurna Mountain Range, Lamjung Himal, Manaslu, Ganesh, and several other Himalayan ranges feels nothing less than magnificent, even with 200 or more people around.

Trek back down to Ghorepani and have breakfast.

Continue onward to Tadhapani, a place towards Pokhara, and behold the splendid views.

Get some rest and savor your dinner.

Descend back to Tadhapani, carrying with you the gorgeous panoramic experience after completing the Poon Hill visit.

Wake up early - sunrise here is no less spectacular than what you see at Poon Hill, with less crowd and a cold breeze.

Enjoy a picturesque morning with a lovely breakfast at Tadhapani, then head towards Ghandruk. Ghandruk is very much a cultural hub, mingled with picturesque scenery in its background.

Enjoy several things here, such as inside-home cultural museums, tiled roofs, and the hospitality of the local people, along with your lunch.

Board a bus to Pokhara for a 3-hour journey.

Your guided tour service ends as you arrive in Pokhara today.
