Description
Sitting on the outskirts of the Annapurna conservation area, Poon Hill is the ideal destination for trekkers who do not have a lot of time to explore Nepal's majestic scenery!
Over the course of our 10 days together, we will split our time between exploring the cities of Pokhara and Kathmandu and trekking through the sublime Nepalese wilderness until we arrive at the summit of Poon Hill.
While we are in the cities, we will start each day with some early morning yoga before heading out and seeing some of the sights. We will end each of these days with a meditation class.
However, the highlight of the trip will be striking out into the wilderness in order to climb Poon Hill. The trek to and from the hill is easily as enchanting and scenic as actually summiting the peak is.
As we go, we will climb up 3200 carved stone steps, hike through thick rhododendron forests and past traditional villages. Each day, we will enjoy plenty of stunning views of some of the most iconic peaks in the Annapurna range.
The climax of the trip comes when we climb to the top of Poon Hill. Getting an early morning start, we will arrive at the summit in time for sunrise and watch an incredible one come up over Annapurna. It's truly an unforgettable sight.
From here, we slowly return to Pokhara, where we will spend one last day exploring the city before returning to Katmandu and eventually transferring you back to the airport to fly home.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this stunningly scenic and enchanting 10-day trek and yoga expedition to the summit of Poon Hill!

Thanks to my guide Tanka and porter Chhabi for an awesome trip to the Himalayas! All throughout the trip they ensured that I had everything that I needed and checked in on my comfort level all throughout. The guide took time every day to explain plans for the next day, to take pictures and to point out landmarks. The views of Annapurna I and Machhapuchhare are gorgeous from the Mardi Himal base camp (more so than Mardi Himal itself). Note that you enjoy flexibility during the trip. The camps that you stay at each night are only suggestions - we adjusted from the described plan to time the weather so we could get the best views, and to get off the trail early on Day 5. Much of the trail is improved with steps or stone walkways and it is a popular trail where you will meet other hiking groups. I brought everything suggested by Welcome Nepal Treks for the trip and was well equipped. Communication with Welcome Nepal Treks was entirely through Whatsapp, and I was able to rendezvous with the guide on Day 1 with no problem. I would book a trip with Welcome Nepal Treks again!
