Annapurna Panorama Trek, also known as Ghorepani Poonhill Trek, is undoubtedly
one of the most popular treks in Nepal. Although short, this trek winds up the
authentic trekking experience in the Himalayas and unfolds the dramatic teahouse
experience in the foothills of Annapurna region.
The easy-paced trails of Annapurna Panorama Trek start from the famous city of
Pokhara. It then traverses through traditional Gurung settlement, dense
rhododendron forests, wide subtropical valleys along with picturesque Himalayan
vistas in the backdrop. The trek also offers glimpses of fascinating landscapes, off-
beaten terrain, diverse ethnicity, and rich cultures. Experience the lifestyle of the
indigenous people of the region and their ever-welcoming gratitude.
Another major attraction of this trek is the hike to the viewpoint of Poon Hill. This
vantage point beholds the glory of astonishing sunrise amidst the towering peaks
which seems just a stone throw away. Poon Hill is also the highest elevation point on
this trek and offers magnificent glimpses of iconic mountains including
Machhapuchhre, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Gangapurna.
Annapurna Panorama Trek is one of the best getaway destinations to quench the
thirst of the adventure junkies. This trek is a perfect match for those willing to trek in
the Himalayas of Nepal but have a relatively shorter number of days to spend in
Nepal.
