Tour Details

Poonhill & Australian Base Camp Trek – If you’re seeking a remarkable adventure, the Poonhill & Australian Base Camp Trek awaits you. Poonhill, a stunning ridge within the Annapurna region, is renowned for its breathtaking sunrise views set against the backdrop of majestic mountains. To embark on this unforgettable journey, you can opt for the short Poonhill trekking package, which leads you to the enchanting ridge of Poonhill. Beginning our adventure north of Pokhara, we’ll take a one-hour drive to Nayapul, marking the starting point of our trek. Leaving behind the wide pitch-black road, we’ll follow the off-beaten trekking trail that winds through rivers, dense rhododendron forests, and Gurung settlements, ultimately bringing us to Poonhill. In addition to the mesmerizing sunrise views, this trek offers a chance to awaken spiritual feelings in the tranquil Annapurna region.
