Annapurna Sunrise Trek is also known as Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, which is the most popular short trekking in the lower Annapurna region. It is a trek highly suitable to explore the enticing countryside with Himalayan views in a short time. For the family trips who seek an easy trek, Poon Hill Trek (3210 meters) is an exclusive package that they can make their trekking in Nepal a lifetime experience.

Trek to Poon Hill begins from Nayapul and leads you through the enticing terraced fields following the stream. Passing through some of the ethnic communities, it takes a steep climb and the route goes through the rhododendron forest. The shadow trail continues to Ghorepani, which is located at the foot of Poon Hill, populated by the ethnic Magar communities. It’s about 40 minutes steep climb through the stone staircase and the dramatic Himalayan views welcome you. After the sunrays kiss the summits of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Himalayan peaks, the scenery turns out to be extremely outstanding. From Ghorepani, the trail is frequent up and down and goes along the stream and forest. Ghandruk via Tadapani is also the same, through the forest. Ghandruk is a culturally impressive destination, populated by the Gurung communities. You can explore the folk culture and traditions along with the museum on the village. The Himalayan views and the terraced hillside is magnificent to spend a remarkable day around here.
