Nepal: Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Poon Hill

Embark on a 9-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp, including a visit to the Poon Hill viewpoint and a relaxing soak in the hot springs of Jhinu Danda.
Begin your adventure with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara by tourist bus. Upgrade to a private van for greater comfort and flexibility. Follow winding highways alongside rivers, green hills, villages, and terraced landscapes. Upon arrival in Pokhara, relax near the peaceful lakeside area and prepare for the trek ahead.

The next day, continue with an adventurous jeep drive through rural roads toward Ulleri, the starting point of the trek. From here, begin ascending through forests, waterfalls, and charming villages toward Ghorepani. Pass through beautiful rhododendron forests that bloom brightly during spring. Ghorepani is a popular mountain village offering incredible views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges.

Early in the morning, hike to the famous Poon Hill viewpoint to witness one of the most spectacular Himalayan sunrises in Nepal. As the sun rises, golden light illuminates peaks including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, and Nilgiri. After enjoying the panoramic scenery and photography opportunities, continue through forested ridges toward Tadapani. The trail offers peaceful landscapes filled with birds, rhododendrons, and mountain scenery.

Descend through forests and villages before reaching Chhomrong, one of the largest Gurung settlements in the Annapurna region. From Chhomrong, enter deeper into the Annapurna Sanctuary area. Cross suspension bridges, climb stone staircases, and pass beautiful forest sections before arriving at Sinuwa. Along the route, enjoy stunning views of Machhapuchhre and surrounding peaks.

Continue through dense bamboo and rhododendron forests alongside the Modi Khola river valley. Pass settlements such as Bamboo, Dobhan, and Himalaya before gradually ascending to Deurali. As you gain altitude, the landscapes become more dramatic with steep cliffs, waterfalls, and alpine scenery. The cooler mountain air and remote environment create a true Himalayan trekking experience.

Ascend toward Machhapuchhre Base Camp before continuing to the breathtaking Annapurna Base Camp at approximately 4,130 meters. Surrounded by massive Himalayan peaks on all sides, the base camp offers an unforgettable 360-degree mountain panorama. Witness Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna, and the sacred Machhapuchhre peak rising dramatically above the glacier-covered sanctuary. Watching sunset or sunrise from the base camp is considered one of the greatest highlights of trekking in Nepal.

After experiencing the beauty of Annapurna Base Camp, begin descending back through the same scenic route toward Sinuwa. Descending allows you to enjoy the landscapes from a different perspective while spending more time appreciating forests, waterfalls, and mountain villages. The lower altitude also provides a more comfortable environment after reaching high elevation.

Continue downhill toward Jhinu Danda, famous for its natural hot springs located beside the river.
