Annapurna Ghorepani Poonhill trek
is a colourful short foray into the Annapurna region. The trail winds through patchwork valleys, dense mossy forests
and past icy waterfalls where you can stop to cool your face. Around
every corner is a tantalizing glimpse of the high mountains, whole
horizons of which will be revealed to you as you reach the high
points of your trek. We start by ascending the foothills from Pokhara, appreciating the slate-roofed tropical villages and magnificent rhododendron forests before entering the narrow Modi Khola gorge. As we climb higher we get to the hidden world of the Annapurna Sanctuary. The huge south face of Annapurna (8,090m/26,535ft) provides an impressive backdrop, while the closeness of 10 peaks over 6,000m/20,000ft, including Hiunchuli, Fang, Annapurna III and Machapuchare (the Fish Tail Peak), inspire a delicious joy as a fitting highlight of this spectacular trek. On the return journey we will have a chance to visit the beautiful village and the Gurung 'capital' of Gandruk before heading back to Pokhara. A wonderful journey to the heart of the Annapurnas
This trek in the Annapurna foothills
to the view point on Poon Hill offers all the best of trekking in
Nepal. Enjoy trekking in the spectacular mountain scenery through
charming villages inhabited by the Gurungs, Magars dense rhododendron
forests full of birds and deep sub-tropical valleys, all set below
the Annapurnas with the picturesque peak of Machhapuchhare (Fish
Tail Peak) dominating the skyline. At the climax of this trek you
will climb Poon Hill at dawn to enjoy one of the most spectacular
mountain scapes on Earth. As the sun touches the snow-capped summits
the Himalayan giants, Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and Annapurna (8,091m)
along with a maze of other peaks, slowly begin to appear, like magic,
before our eyes. A rewarding trek that can be enjoyed by every lover
of nature and beautiful landscape.
