An ideal adventure in the Annapurna region of Nepal, the Poon Hill sunrise trek is unmissable. Join us on this perfect 9-day getaway to relax and rejuvenate in the gorgeous landscape of the Himalayas.

The trek will take you through many picturesque villages, alpine forests and trails laden with rhododendron flowers. Also, you’ll witness clear, unobstructed vistas of many high peaks like Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Ganesh Himal and many other peaks of the Annapurna range.

We’ll begin and end our journey in the capital city of Kathmandu. From there, we’ll head towards the beautiful city of Pokhara to start our adventure.

The top also offers jaw-dropping views of many high peaks like Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Annapurna I and Nilgiri Annapurna.

Before ending the trip, you’ll trek Tadapani and Ghandruk to see the lifestyle of Gurung and Magar people closely and experience some more Nepali culture and finally return to Kathmandu, taking back with you unforgettable memories.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard
