Poonhill (3210m) is one of Nepal's best sunrise viewpoints from where you can admire the great Annapurna Range and Dhaulagiri Range. From Poonhill you will get to see Mt. Dhaulagiri, the 7th Highest mountain in the world at 8167 m and Mt. Annapurna 1, the 10th Highest mountain in the world at 8,091 m. Other great peaks on display are Mt. Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna south, Himchuli, Nilgiri, and Tukuche Peak.
As we are not climbing in very high altitudes this trek provides neither too hot nor too cold temperatures and as a result you will be able to complete this physical challenge in rather comfortable surroundings.
According to the different seasons, plants, trees and flowers await you with lush timberland and beautiful horizons. Especially during the spring season the Rhododendron, Nepal's National flower, covers the mountainside different colors and aromas.
We are looking forward to showing you Nepal and Poonhill, for a great small adventure, getting you close to the Himalayan mountain peaks.

How much money do I need to bring with me?
Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.

How much should my backpack weigh?
A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.

Do I require a porter for carrying water?
On most popular treks you can expect plenty of places where you can refill your water bottle, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge water supply with you. Bring an extra bottle of water if you are concerned. If you already have a porter, you can ask him/her to carry water as long as it is within the weight limit. Another option is to carry water purification tablets or LifeStraw, both of which can be found in Kathmandu.
