Poon Hill Trek
Poon Hill is a breathtaking trekking destination in the Annapurna region of Nepal, renowned for
itsstunning panoramic views of the Himalayas. Situated at an elevation of 3,210 meters, it provides
an accessible vantage point for trekkers of all experience levels.
The trek typically begins in Nayapul and winds through charming villages like Tikhedhunga,
