The Poon Hill trek is a short and popular trekking route located in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It typically takes around 4-5 days to complete and offers stunning panoramic views of the Himalayan mountains, including Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. The trek starts and ends in Nayapul or Phedi, passing through picturesque villages like Tikhedhunga and Ghorepani. Poon Hill, the highest point on the trek at 3,210 meters (10,532 feet), is famous for its sunrise views. It's a relatively easy trek, making it suitable for beginners and those with limited time for a Himalayan adventure.
