Poon Hill Short Trek Overview
Poon Hill Short Trek is an ideal trek destination for trekkers, especially for time-restricted travelers who want to have a taste of the Himalayas. Also known as the Sunrise Trek, due to the magnificent sunrise views you get from Poon Hill (3,210 m).
Whether you are a beginner or a professional photographer, we bet that the panoramic views of the landscape from the hilltop will never disappoint you!
Why Poon Hill Short Trek
The real magical moment of the Poon Hill trekking package is in the morning when the darkness is shrouded by light, and in front of you lie the massive, dazzling mountains of the Annapurna ranges.
Poon Hill Short Trek offers something stunning & unique, whether that be snow-tipped mountain ranges of the Annapurna region, endless grasslands, and dense rhododendron forests that stretch as far as your eye can see, which seemingly never end.
A hot cup of coffee or tea on top of this hill, along with other fellow travelers, is the table talk of nature lovers who have been here before. Like all the treks of the Annapurna Region, the way to reach Poon Hill is from Pokhara.
Our trekking trail for Poon Hill passes through dense rhododendron forest with chirping birds while passing the villages like Ghorepani, Ulleri, and Ghandruk, where you get a true picture of Nepalese life and let you understand the bonding between different ethnic groups living together. Gurungs and Magars are the major inhabitants of this region.
You can also combine this best sunrise view trek in Nepal with the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek with Ghandruk, a 10-day package if you have a few extra days, where you can enjoy more in the backdrop of the Himalayas.
The best time to visit Poon Hill is Spring and while crossing Ghorepani, you also witness the largest collection of rhododendron forests with blooming flowers.

The accommodation for the Poon Hill Short Trek differs according to the altitude and the location. Most accommodation during the Short trek is teahouses. Get to experience the unique and beautiful landscapes in the Annapurna region.
We will maintain comfortable teahouses with all major equipment. We find a cozy place to retire after the day's trek.
Each teahouse’s selection will be based on safety and scenic view considerations. They will have access to the trekking trails. We ensure that the beauty in the surrounding mountains and landscapes is accessible.
i. Single Supplementary
There is a single supplement available at an additional cost for those wanting extra comfort and privacy on the trek. This allows solo trekkers a single tent that could be used as their own personal space to rest and regain after a day of climbing.
Those who like to be alone or for people with lots of equipment, single supplementary accommodation is the best option. It is highly recommended to do this in advance due to limited availability, adding great enjoyment to the trek, but still being part of group travel.
Meals during the Poon Hill Short Trek
Trekkers on the Poon Hill Short Trek are well-fed and hydrated throughout the journey. As the trek passes through villages, rugged terrains, and high-altitude areas, the arrangement ensures that trekkers get enough sustenance regularly so that they stay fresh and potent.
Every stage is planned in such a manner that you get proper nourishment to meet the heavy demand your body experiences due to the long trekking days and tiring ascent.
Drinking Water
Hydration is also a parallel concern, especially in high-altitude areas where dehydration and altitude sickness may be a factor.
Groups provide clean drinking water, either boiled or purified, and ask that trekkers keep themselves optimally hydrated throughout the trek. This attention to water supply helps combat the effects of exhaustion and altitude gain for overall well-being.
Nutrition and hydration planning around the Dhampus Peak Climb is so full that even in the most remote areas, trekkers will be better equipped to overcome diverse physical and environmental obstacles during the climb.
