Poon Hill is een prachtige piek in de Annapurna regio die bekend staat om zijn prachtige zonsopgang tegen een achtergrond van majestueuze bergen. De betoverende piek van Poon Hill is gemakkelijk te bereiken met het korte Poon Hill trekkingpakket. Richting het noorden van Pokhara rijden we in een uur naar Nayapul. We verlaten de brede, donkere weg en nemen de ongebaande trekkingroute. Over het algemeen leidt dit pad naar Poon Hill via rivieren, dichte rododendronbossen en Gurung-nederzettingen. Naast de adembenemende zonsopgang kun je in de rustige Annapurna regio spirituele gevoelens opwekken. De Australian Base Camp wandelroute ligt in noordwestelijke richting, vlakbij de Pokhara Vallei.
Het Australian Base Camp is een eenvoudige wandeling van waaruit je de Annapurna bergketens, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu bergketens en Lamjung kunt verkennen. Je zult ook het pittoreske dorpje Dhampus zien.
De hoogtepunten van de trektocht:
● Wandel over Poon Hill.
● Ontspan bij een warmwaterbron in Jhinu Danda.
Wandeling naar het Autralian Basiskamp.
De Annapurna regio herbergt vele beroemde bestemmingen en is een paradijs voor trekkingsliefhebbers.
