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).
