Probably most known for its panoramic sunrise views from Poon Hill, this trek packs in some of the best that the Annapurna range has to offer in the s...

If you stay in Ghorepani, you can wake up in the morning and do this side trek before you head out on the Circuit. It is approximately 45 minutes to get up to the top, so you need to wake up and leave by roughly 4:30AM depending on the time of year to make it for sunrise.Plenty of other trekkers will be doing the same, so you will have no trouble finding it. When you get to the Poon Hill Trail,...
