About the Nepal Poon Hill Himalaya Trek

This breathtaking challenge takes place in the stunning Annapurna region of the Himalayas of Nepal. It is home to some of the highest mountains in the world, and it’s pure Himalayan magic!

The highlight of this spectacular trek will be to reach the summit of Poon Hill at 3,210m (10,531ft). Poon Hill is a majestic peak which offers trekkers an unobstructed view of the highest peaks in the surrounding area. These include Annapurna South, Nilgiri South and many more! The trail takes you through charming Nepalese villages where you will experience the true culture of the mountain people of Nepal.
