Poon Hill is one of the most famous short treks in Nepal. Located in the Annapurna region, this hilltop offers a magical sunrise view of the Himalayas. From here, you can see stunning peaks like Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), and many more. Because the trek is short, easy, and full of cultural and natural beauty, it has become the best choice for beginners, families, and anyone who wants to enjoy the Himalayas in a short time.
Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition, we organize safe, affordable, and flexible Poon Hill trekking packages. Whether you want a budget trip, comfort option, or a customized private trek, we are here to make your Himalayan journey easy and memorable.
Poon Hill (3,210 m) is called the “Sunrise Viewpoint of the Annapurna.” Every morning, trekkers gather here to watch the first golden rays of the sun touch the snow-covered mountains. The panoramic Himalayan view looks like a painting, and the feeling is unforgettable.
Along the way, you pass through rhododendron forests, traditional Gurung and Magar villages like Ghandruk and Ghorepani, and enjoy warm hospitality from local people. The trek is rich in culture and nature, making it more than just a hiking trip – it’s also a cultural experience.
The Poon Hill Trek is perfect for people who have limited time in Nepal. Normally, the trek takes 3 to 5 days starting from Pokhara. The trail is well-marked, safe, and suitable for children, older people, or even first-time trekkers. Unlike longer treks like Annapurna Circuit or Everest Base Camp, Poon Hill does not require weeks of walking or very high altitude adaptation.
This makes it a great choice for travelers who want the Himalayan experience in a short time. You still get breathtaking views, local culture, and the joy of trekking, but in a relaxed and beginner-friendly way.
Most treks to Poon Hill start from Nayapul, about a 1.5-hour drive from Pokhara. A common itinerary looks like this:
This itinerary can be customized depending on your time, pace, and interest. At Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition, we provide both fixed departures and private treks, so you can choose what fits you best.
The best seasons are Spring (March–May) and Autumn (September–November). During these months, the weather is clear, the skies are blue, and the mountain views are stunning. Spring is also famous for blooming rhododendrons, making the forest trails colorful and beautiful.
Winter (December–February) is colder but still possible, while Summer/Monsoon (June–August) has more rain and fewer trekkers.
The cost of the Poon Hill trek depends on the package you choose – budget, comfort, or luxury. Generally, it is one of the most affordable treks in Nepal because it is short and easy. Costs include permits, transportation, guide, porter, food, and accommodation.
