Annapurna Base Camp with Poonhill Trek

Experience two of Nepal’s most breathtaking Himalayan sunrises on this offbeat photography-themed adventure. Capture golden light over Dhaulagiri from Poon Hill and the magical glow of Annapurna.
The Twin Sunrises Trek combines the best of the Ghorepani Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp trails into one unforgettable Himalayan photography journey.
Designed for travelers who love both adventure and artistry, this 10-day trek takes you from lush forests and traditional Gurung villages to the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary, surrounded by towering peaks.

Begin with a scenic drive to Nayapul, then ascend through Tikhedhunga, Ghorepani, and Poon Hill (3,210 m) — Nepal’s most famous sunrise viewpoint. Watch the morning light paint Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) in warm gold.
Continue deeper into the mountains, following stone trails and rhododendron forests to Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,700 m) and Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m).
Here, you’ll witness your second sunrise — the Annapurna Sanctuary glowing in a 360° circle of snow peaks, an unforgettable paradise for photographers and trekkers alike.
