Annapurna Family trek to Ghorepani poonhill is probably the only trek that turns your fantasy into a reality! Termed as ‘Naturalist’s paradise’, it is the most amazing evergreen route towards its destination from Nayapul, your entrance to Annapurna region that lets you glimpse into the Annapurna ranges, picturesque villages and a very unique local inhabitants. Annapurna family hike requires you to hike upwards from starting 1300m altitude to our destination Poonhill at 3210m. Poonhill bestows you with the view of mesmerizing sunrise above the Annapurna peaks- as the sun rises above the Annapurna vistas; it changes its color to shiny golden like its blushing at a touch of rays of sun. Poonhill itself is one of the most interesting features of this trek!
The downward trek from the Poonhill is again very different from that of upwards, adding a spice to the trek. During an appropriate season, the complete forests become a pattern of white and red blossoms of rhododendron flowers. You not only get a chance to view it’s outer phenomenon, but you also get an amazing opportunity to stare at the sky-high peaks over 8000m including Mt. Annapurna (8093m), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m) as well as other snowy peaks of Machhapuchre,Himchuli, Tukuche Peak, Lamjung Himal, Nilgiri and plenty of other green hills that adds a beauty and adventure tour whole trek.
