HIGHLIGHTS
  • Easy and short trek in the Annapurna region
  • See the best sunrise and Himalayas view from Poon Hill
  • Stunning views of Dhaulagiri (8167m) Manaslu (8163m) and Annapurna I (8091m)
Poonhill trek is a short and relatively easy trek into the Annapurna region. This trek is suitable for elderly people, families with kids, and those who do not have much time, but perfect for anyone who has a burning desire to observe the beauty of snow-capped mountains and explore the Himalayan scenery! The lower altitude makes it perfect for families.

The 4-day, 3-night trek begins in Pokhara and heads through several villages. Highlights are the sunrise from Poon Hill and the ethnic Gurung village of Ghandruk, a cultural village that wonderfully preserves the traditional pattern of cultural lifestyles. The trek concludes in Nayapul with the exploration of the exquisiteness of the Annapurna conservation area.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this tour.
  • What is the required budget for a trip to Nepal?

    How much you spend in Nepal is largely decided by things you want to do in the country. A 5-day trekking trip in Nepal can start from as little at USD 400 per person. A weekend-long safari in Chitwan National Park is available at less than USD 200.

    On average, seven days in Nepal with accommodation and some or all meals included costs anywhere between USD 700 to USD 1500 per person. Good rooms at hotels in Nepal range from USD 25 to over USD 150 per person, per night, while around USD 1.5 a day can buy you three meals in decent restaurants. 

  • Is Asia open for tourists?

    Despite the initial fears of the Covid-19 pandemic, most Asian countries have managed to mitigate its effects. As such, many popular destinations throughout the continent are currently open for travelers with precautionary measures like mandatory vaccinations. A few countries, however, require newly arrived travelers to spend a couple of days in quarantine.

    As of February 2022, countries like Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia are officially open for vaccinated tourists without the need for quarantine. Meanwhile, India and Indonesia are two of the countries that may require you to quarantine for up to a week on arrival. However, Japan, Vietnam, and Myanmar are yet to open their doors to visitors.

     

  • 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 will a trip to Nepal cost?
