Overview of Annapurna View Trek
Annapurna
View Trekking is one of the shortest, but most rewarding and classic trekking
options in Nepal. It presents an impressive mountainous landscape, which
includes the high mountain range, which consists of the spectacular mount Machhapuchhre
(fishtail). Most importantly, you will go to Poon Hill, an idyllic hilltop
location that offers both sunrise and sunset views in the beautiful Himalayas.
Annapurna
View Trek is an ideal option for those looking for a short and relatively easy
hike to see the Annapurna mountain range. This exciting quick and easy hike
offers travellers an enjoyable scenic walk within a tight schedule, allowing
them to quickly try out the variety of Nepal's natural and cultural gems. This beautiful
path winds through mosaic valleys, dense green forests, and cold waterfalls where
you can stop to refresh our faces with natural water. Around every turning
point, there is an enticing view of the high mountains before our eyes, the
horizon of which will unfold when you reach higher altitudes.
Upon arrival
at Kathmandu International Airport, a representative from our office will pick
you up and take you to your hotel. You can rest in the afternoon. Night stay at
hotel in Kathmandu.
Breakfast at the hotel and start
sightseeing in the Kathmandu Valley. Our private vehicle will pick you up at
your hotel and take you to 5 of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Apart from
that, you will visit many places of historical and cultural importance.
Starting from Swayambhunath Stupa, explore Patan Durbar Square, Boudhanath
Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple and Kathmandu Durbar Square. Our professional
guides will take you the whole place. After sightseeing, you can walk the
streets of Thamel and go shopping for your trip. Night stay at a deluxe hotel in Kathmandu.
You flew to
Pokhara early in the morning and enjoyed a breathtaking view of the Himalayas
from the right side of our plane. Upon arrival in the beautiful city of Pokhara
will reward you with a breathtaking view of the Himalayas, including Mount
Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, the five peaks of Mt. Annapurna and others.
After
resting, drive to NayaPul and start the hike. You drive through subtropical
forests in the valley, sometimes on the path carved into the side of the cliff.
After lunch, you cross the Bhurungdi Khola over a bridge to the village of
Tikhedhunga. Ulleri Hill, with thousands of steps and boulders that are continually
climbing, will be a real test of our endurance. You arrive in Ulleri in the
late afternoon. Night stay at teahouse in Ulleri.
After
breakfast, You will ascend to the Ghorepani village. The name Ghorepani in
Nepali means "horse water" because it is an essential warehouse for
merchants before it became a stopover for hikers. Ghorepani is an exciting
place with small shops and stalls selling local products and handicrafts. The
village consists of two parts: one in the saddle and the other a few hundred
feet below. You stop at the highest part of the village in Ghorepani and offer
panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, such as the Annapurna South and
Nilgiri Mountains peak. As Ghorepani is in a much higher elevation than your
previous stay, you feel the cold weather, particularly at night. Night stay at
Teahouse in Ghorepani.
You take an early morning climb along the
steep path to Poon Hill viewpoint, to see the sunrise over the Himalayas, the
most popular trekking destination in the Annapurna region. It's also a high
vantage point (3,210 m) to enjoy incredible views of Mustang, Pokhara, and over
20 of the tallest mountains, including close-ups of the Annapurna and
Dhaulagiri ranges. The snow-capped peaks of the high mountains rise above and
around us and glow in the morning light. After taking photos and drinking
coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, you returned to Ghorepani. After breakfast, you
walk east and up a nearby ridge. You move down through the rhododendron Jungle,
past stunning waterfalls, and reach in Tadapani for the night. Night stay at
Lodge in Tadapani.
From
Tadapani, you make a steep descent through the thick and dark forest. This part
of the hike leads through a dense forest of old rhododendrons. When
rhododendrons bloom, these forests become incredible gardens. Depend on the
travel season; you can also enjoy the cherry blossoms on the slopes on the
other side of the gorge. After a few minutes walk, you will enter the village
of Ghandruk, a hilltop settlement with stone houses, most of which are
inhabited by the Gurung community. You not only enjoyed the breathtaking close-ups
view of the Fishtail Mountains, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli but also got to
know the simple but rich cultural traditions of the Gurung at the Gurung Museum
in Ghandruk.
After
breakfast, the trail takes a while through the village of Ghandruk and downhill
through the farming villages to a river where you cross a suspension bridge
below and then follow a short steep climb to Jhinu Danda. As soon as you arrive
at the hostel, you cool off in our rooms and go to the river bank to enjoy the
natural hot springs. After relaxing in hot water, You go back to the lodge. You

You can go
back to the hot springs in the morning to refresh yourself, and then return to
the path that goes down a valley to cross another bridge. Then there is a short
climb that takes us to Landruk. There are still a few suspension bridges to cross
and lots of waterfalls to enjoy along the way. Landruk is a great Magar village
with residents and their traditional costumes and culture. After lunch in
Landruk, you will continue with some ups and downs that lead to the bottom of a
hill in Bhaisekharka. Then it goes steeply uphill to a ridge near Deurali
through a vast forest. From Deurali, you can see the view of Annapurna south of
Hiunchuli in the north and continue the hike to Pothana, which is on a ridge from
which you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Mount Dhaulagiri, the Annapurna
Range and many more. Night stay at Lodge in Pothana.

This Trek is
best in the fall (September through November) and spring (March through May).
During this time, the sky is clear, and the view is excellent. The weather is
perfect for hiking without rain. You can also enjoy lush greenery in the lower
part of the trail, particularly during the spring season.
There is a risk of hiking more than 3000 m. Different people
react differently to altitude, regardless of their fitness level or mountain
experience. That is why you need to learn and understand in advance what
altitude sickness is and what its symptoms are.

Best Way to Be into Nature
It was a fantastic trip with the sunrise from Poon Hill and
the morning from Annapurna base camp, which pampered us in clear skies and pleasant
weather. The guides and porters were fantastic and tried to communicate with
their broken English, our leading guide Milan was excellent with his knowledge
of mountains and other areas in Nepal. I can only recommend this trip. Make
sure you love the steps and the hills and the breathtaking views.
