This
week-long trek in the Annapurna foothills to the top of Poon Hill
is one of the most pleasant trekking areas. Easy to Moderate trekking
from an altitude of 900m to a maximum 3,000m, this trek offers
spectacular mountain scenery, charming settlements of Gurungs
and their slate-roofed houses, incredible rhododendron forests
ablaze with ivory, rose, apricot and crimson bouquets and deep
sub-tropical valleys all set below the Annapurna and Dhualagiri
range. The sunrise over Machhapuchhre or Fishtail (6,993m) from
Poonhill is simply breath taking as the sun changes its color
from pink to gold to silver – a rewarding experience.
