This week-long lodge trek in the Annapurna Foothills to the
view point on Poon Hill offers all the best of trekking in
Nepal including accommodation in comfortable family run trekkers'
lodges along the way. Enjoy trekking in the spectacular mountain
scenery through charming villages inhabitated by the Gurungs,
dense rhododendron forests full of birds and deep sub-tropical
valleys, all set below the Annapurnas with the picturesque
fluted peak of Machapuchare (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 mountainscape
on Earth. As the sun touches the snowcapped summits the Himalayan
giants, Dhaulagiri (8,167m/26,788ft.) and Annapurna (8,091m/26,538ft.)
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.
