This is a compact, medium class trek suitable for those wishing to experience trekking in the Himalayas, but on a shorter timescale. Set in the foothills of the Annapurna range this trek offers fantastic views of the mountains (Dhaulagiri I, Tukuche, Nilgiri, Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Tarke Kang) and the glimpses of traditional village life. The highlight of this trek is the amazing views of the sunrise over the High Himalaya from Poon Hill (3193m). We end this trek with a visit to a beautiful Gurung village Ghandruk which offers a fantastic views of South Annapurna.
