Annapurna Poon Hill Trek is renowned as the easiest and most famous trek in the Annapurna region. This short yet rewarding hike will offer you a stunning Mountain view of the snow-capped Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, etc., in the Annapurna region.
This delightful journey will connect you with Charming Magar, Gurung Village, and traditional rural farms. Engage yourself in diverse landscapes, rhododendron forests, cascading waterfalls, and lush valleys. Sunrise at Poon Hill (considered the best viewpoint all over Nepal) ignites the Himalayas in a brilliant display, forever etching the majestic peaks onto our souls. This trek provides a popular, well-maintained area with many cozy accommodations providing basic comfort along the way.

Your tour starts at TIA Airport. Our member from the Nepal Hiking Team will receive you outside the gate. From there you’ll be transferred to a hotel.
The journey to the Annapurna Poonhill trek starts with an exciting 30-minute flight to Pokhara. After landing in this beautiful city, we will drive to Birethanti through the villages of Lumle and Nayapul.
The real adventure begins when we reach Ulleri, which has iconic stone steps that unveil the rich traditions of the Magar community and invite us into their world. On our journey, we will pass by Banthanti and Ghorepani.
Early in the morning, we will take a short hike of about 45 minutes to Poonhill. We take some time to capture the beautiful views of majestic peaks with fresh, refreshing mountain air. Back to Ghorepani, we descend to Tadapani, passing Deurali. Tadapani, a small village in the Gurung community, is another stop for the overnight.
For our last day of the Poonhill trek, we will hike through Ghandruk, a village cradled by the Gurung people, where a deep sense of accomplishment and connection to the Himalayas takes root. After that, we will drive to Pokhara to catch the latest flight to Kathmandu. The tour ends after dropping you at the airport around three hours before departure.
Connect with NHT for a more personalized family trek, according to your preference, and create memories that last a lifetime.
Upon arrival in TIA, Kathmandu, you will be met by our NHT representative and then transferred smoothly to your hotel. You will have the rest of the day to relax and travel to the city.
You’ll fly to Pokhara from Kathmandu Domestic Airport early today. You’ll fly above the hills and be amazed by the mountains on the side.
After landing in Pokhara, you will drive to Birethanti by jeep, passing the villages of Lumle and Nayapul, each brimming with local life. The trail then moves through bamboo forests, large waterfalls, and swimming holes. After Nayapul, the road conditions are not well-maintained, so be prepared until Birenthanti.
Further, you will pass the pasture of Ramghai, ascend the valley, and then reach Tikhedhunga. After crossing the suspension bridges and ascending 3,300 steep stone steps, you will finally reach your ultimate destination of the day, Ulleri.
Today, your journey is relatively short and more accessible, so you will reach the Ghorepani at a slow pace and enjoy the beauty. After early breakfast at Ghorepani, you continue trekking to the enchanting forest of Nangethanti, the best place to take a short break.
Later, ascend to Ghorepani, a small village high in the mountains. From Ghorepani, you will have stunning views of the Annapurna Himalayan range, including Annapurna I, the tenth-highest mountain in the world.
With water, flashlights, and cameras before dawn, a 45-minute hike up to Poon Hill, a small hilltop viewpoint that offers panoramic views of the Annapurna Himalayan range.
After enjoying the views, you will return to Ghorepani for breakfast. Then, you will trek to Tadapani through the village of Deurali. If the weather permits, you can be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Mountain on the way.
As your Annapurna PoonHill trek comes to an end, you will experience mixed feelings of joy and sadness. You trek through green fields and downhill paths to reach Ghandruk, a Gurung village. Then, you drive to Pokhara and catch a flight back to Kathmandu.
You will be transferred to the airport for your departure.

Recommended trip for families.
Highly recommended.
It was a very good experience. We spent five days on Poon Hill with a guide, RamKrishna Davest. It was great. We suffered and helped us with any problem.
Unforgettable Poon Hill Trek with My Daughter – Highly Recommended!
We did a 5-day Poon Hill trek booked through Nepal Trek IL, and it was an amazing experience. Guy, our Israeli contact, was very helpful in planning a route that suited our pace and needs.
In Nepal, we were warmly welcomed by Nepal Hiking Team. Our guide Bibek met us with flower garlands at the airport and took care of us from day one. Along with our porter Suzu, they made sure we were safe, comfortable, and enjoying every moment. The trek was moderately challenging—just right for us—and the team even surprised us with desserts after dinner!
After the trek, Bibek continued to help by organizing our activities in Pokhara, showing real care and professionalism throughout. I highly recommend Nepal Trek IL, Nepal Hiking Team, and especially Bibek. Hope to return soon for another trek!

We recently completed an 11-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp with Nepali Hiking Team, and it was an incredible experience. I highly recommend this group for any of their tours.
We arranged our own accommodation in Kathmandu, and the team from Nepali Hiking Team met us at our hotel. From there, they took care of everything. Our guide, Prakash Sapkota, and our porter, Mr. Gokul, were experts in every aspect of the trek. They briefed us on the next day's itinerary each evening, making mornings a breeze. They were particularly attentive when my friend caught a cold midway through. Prakash knew exactly where to find the necessary medicine, allowing us to continue with minimal disruption.
The evenings were a highlight, learning and playing Nepali card games like Kitti and Dhumbal. I suggest picking up the rules to these games and bringing a deck of cards—it really helps the time fly by.
I’m certain we wouldn’t have made it without Prakash and Gokul. If you’re considering a trek to ABC, I can’t recommend Nepali Hiking Team and their attentive staff enough.
We recently completed the Annapurna Panorama Trail, and it was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! The stunning landscapes, well-planned itinerary, and smooth organization made this trek truly unforgettable.
A huge shoutout to our amazing guide, Ramesh—his knowledge, professionalism, and enthusiasm made the journey even more enjoyable. He kept us well-informed and comfortable the entire way. Our Sherpas, Govind and Sabil, were just as fantastic—so kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Their support made everything so much easier and more fun.
If you’re thinking about doing this trek, we can’t recommend it enough! The breathtaking views, warm hospitality, and expert guidance made it a truly special adventure. Huge thanks to the entire team for such a fantastic experience!
