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 Dhaulagiri 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.
