Dawn peels back like a curtain over the Annapurna range as you stand on Poon Hill, a small ridge that throws open views of Annapurna I, Dhaulagiri and Machapuchare. Cold air bites cheeks; prayer flags stitch the wind; terraces and rhododendron forests fall away into small Gurung settlements. This is a short trek that delivers a long memory.
moderate.
6 days.
Suitable for hikers with regular cardiovascular fitness and experience on uneven trails; expect sustained uphill sections and stair climbs.
Poon Hill sits around 3,200 m; altitude-related symptoms are possible but uncommon on this short trek—stay hydrated, ascend slowly and communicate with your guide about any headaches or nausea.
Nights are in teahouses—simple rooms with mattresses and shared bathrooms; meals are cooked locally and included during the trek.
Spring and autumn offer the clearest mountain views and stable weather; winter is colder with clearer skies but colder nights, while summer brings monsoon clouds and leeches at lower elevations.
Guides are recommended and often included; regionally required permits (TIMS and Annapurna Conservation Area permit) are typically arranged by operators or guides.
The trails were historic mule and salt trade routes linking mountain communities to Pokhara and trade nexuses; Gurung culture has long shaped local settlements and hospitality systems.
The trek passes through the Annapurna Conservation Area; stick to marked trails, avoid single-use plastics, and support teahouse waste-reduction efforts.
