The Ghorepani-Poon Hill trek is considered a classic, and with good reason: it’s just about the best short trek in Nepal. A week trekking the foothills of the Annapurnas brings you breathtaking panoramic views of the Massif Himalayas, culminating in the showstopping viewpoint from atop Poon Hill. On the way, enjoy spectacular mountain scenery, charming Gurung villages, cozy, family-run teahouse stays, and encounters with the warm, welcoming people. Did you know that the Gurungs are renowned for their strength and celebrated as one-time pillars of both the Indian and British armies?
