What makes this tour special

The Annapurna Sunrise Trek, also known to many as the great Poon Hill Trek, is one of the best trekking trips in the entire Annapurna region, giving the perfect combination of natural beauty, cultural richness and vastness as well as excellent accessibility. This trek is also ideal for aspiring trekkers and great veteran adventurers, as it features well-marked trails and significant challenges. The route takes you to the tremendous lush rhododendron forests, great traditional villages, and well-planned rice fields, giving glimpses of Nepal's stunning back countryside. Through the way, you will encounter warm and welcoming local people, allowing for a deeper and greater understanding of their rare culture and impressive way of life.

The highlight of this trek is the incomparable sunrise through the nuanced Poon Hill viewpoint. As the first rays of sunlight hit the snow-capped peaks, the full Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges are also bathed in the radiant glow, making a tremendous breathtaking panorama. Majestic peaks such as Nilgiri, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) add great splendor to the fine view. This journey promises incredible mountain scenes, splendid landscapes, rich biodiversity, and immemorial experiences and expectations, making it a perfect mixture of adventure and serenity.
