Located at an altitude of 3,210 m (10,530 ft), Poon Hill is a great viewpoint of the Himalaya mountains. It is also on the way to Annapurna Sanctuary, which is why we have combined it with the classic Annapurna Base Camp trek, ensuring you the best possible Nepal adventure.

This 12-day program is ideal for those who wish to discover the Himalayas but don’t have the time or the skill for a longer and more arduous trek to the top of some of the higher Himalayan peaks. You will have the chance to experience the amazing landscapes and culture of the local people, as well as admire the wildlife of Nepal. We will set off from Kathmandu, and from there we will begin an unforgettable adventure. A full itinerary is detailed below.

Keep in mind that this program is open to participants of many levels. However, you will need to be physically well prepared. We will, of course, be there to help you with the trekking and logistics.

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.
