The Annapurna region in the north western Nepal has been touted as having the world’s best trekking routes. The Annapurna Foothills to the view point on Poon Hill offers some of the best scenery in Nepal with accommodation in comfortable family run trekkers’ lodges along the way. Enjoy trekking amongst the spectacular mountain scenery through charming villages inhabited by the Gurung people of Nepal, dense rhododendron forests full of birds and deep sub-tropical valleys, all set below the Annapurna range with the picturesque fluted peak of Machapuchare (Fish Tail Peak) dominating the skyline.

The highlight of this Annapurna trek is the climb up Poon Hill at dawn to enjoy one of the most spectacular mountain scapes on Earth. As the sun touches the snow-capped summits of the Himalayan giants, Dhaulagiri (8,167m/26,788ft) and Annapurna (8,091m/26,538ft) a maze of other peaks slowly begin to appear, like magic, before our eyes. This is a scenic trek that will be enjoyed by lovers of nature and beautiful landscapes.
