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!

If you like the look of this trip then we think you may also enjoy our slightly longer, 15-day Annourna base camp trek and yoga expedition!

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
