Annapurna Panorama Trek or Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek is one of the favorite trek by the trekkers in the Annapurna Region. The trek is easily accessible from Pokhara; after a 2 day of hiking from Nayapul. The main highlight of the trek is a visit to Poon Hill, situated at 3210 meters above the sea level; from where one can enjoy a mesmerizing view of sunrise and spectacular mountain views such as Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Tukuche Peak, Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Himchuli, Machhapuchhre and many more.
Furthermore, one of the major highlights of the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking is Poon Hill itself. You will visit the vantage point of Poon Hill. The panoramic views of the entire Mount Annapurna massif are incredibly majestic from Poon Hill. The rising sun from amidst the Annapurna Mountains is quite impressive. For this reason, Poon Hill is the most famous vantage point of Annapurna.
Another highlight of the trek is a visit to Magar community village in Ulleri and Gurung community village in Ghandruk. After a visit to Poon Hill you will trek to Tadapani, Ghandruk and adjourn your trek in Birethanti and Nayapul making a clockwise trek.
