This is an ideal easy trek for some fantastic views especially for those people limited to time. The region is easily reached, a one hour car drive from Pokhara, you are at the beginning of the trek. It is the most popular trek in Nepal due to its outstanding beauty and relative accessibility. The area is more developed than other trekking routes one advantage of this is accommodation and facilities are better. Most of the lodges have good facilities, hot showers and good food. Local life and tradition however is still very much in evidence.There are several old villages and hamlets dotted along this trail with some fantastic rhododendron forests and crystal clear rivers to enjoy.
The trek is also special for bird and nature lovers as the forests in the region are known to be abundant with bird life.There are many high points to this trek but the highlight has to be sunrise over Poon Hill, the highest point of our tour. Poon Hill from the top commands a magnificent panoramic view of both the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himalayan Ranges.

14 days in Nepal
We did a 4days trek in the Annapurna area + 2 days in Chitwan (honey moon trip). The experience was just great. We were bit unlucky because of fuel shortage and couldn't visit Lumbini which was in the plan but in general we were well treated and everything was fine. Nepal is safe and a great country to visit with great mountains and better people. A must!

Poon Hill Trek---- October 2014
I had never been to the Annapurna region before. So with a week break off work I decided to go on a short trek. The trek was in the beginning of October. I should also say I've known Ram and Basu for a few years now and the always come through in the clutch. So I knew who to go to for setting this trek up. On the way to Pokhara we also stopped for a short white water rafting session, which was super fun and was a nice break from the winding bumpy road.
We finally made it to Pokhara and spent the night there. The nexte morning we drove up to the starting point of the trek. There were three other people in our group, one trekking guide, and one porter. Everyone got along and the guide and the porter were very kind and knowledgeable. Poon Hill is a pretty popular trekking route during the peak seasons and there were a ton of people.
The trek up to Ghorepani was beautiful. Everything was still pretty green from monsoon and the villages were spectacular. The trek itself was 4 days 3 nights.
When we got back down to Pokhara after the trek. Our guide even helped me get a bus ticket back to Ktm, since I was the only one in the group going back the next day. The next morning he met me and made sure I got on the right bus. So so helpful.
I highly recommend this trek for people who don't have a lot of time. The Nepal Social Trek team was really helpful and I can't thank them enough.
