A 5-day easy hike from Pokhara to Poon Hill, famous for spectacular sunrise views over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, passing through Gurung and Magar villages and rhododendron forest along the way.
Poon Hill offers one of the finest sunrise mountain panoramas reachable on a short trek anywhere in Nepal, without requiring a domestic flight, restricted-area permit, or extensive prior trekking experience.
This hike suits first-time trekkers, families, and travellers with limited time who still want a genuine Himalayan sunrise experience, requiring only moderate fitness for the stone-staircase climb to Ghorepani.
View Himalaya's Poon Hill Short Hike starts from USD 399 per person, including permits, guide, porter, accommodation, and trail meals. Contact View Himalaya for current group rates.
Trekkers with more time available often extend this itinerary into the full Annapurna Base Camp trek, following much of the same initial route before continuing deeper into the Annapurna Sanctuary.
