Just came back from my first trek so far, the Poon Hill or also called Annapurna Panorama Trek. It seemed to be one of the easiest treks in Nepal, but actually I don’t felt like walking in a park. I was happy to hired a porter-guide, Hari.

We began in Nayapul and walked to Tikhedhungga at the first day. The second began quite hard with climb a staircase for about two hours and ended on 2.860 meters in Ghorepani. Day three started early for the amazing sunrise on Poon Hill and continued with a long way down to Ghandruk. The last day we only made a short walk to Kimche and catched the bus back to Pokhara.

Although it wasn’t that easy and quite cold, it was an unforgettable experience. The trek features marvelous views to the Annapurna Himalaya Range, while the way meanders through beautiful ethnic villages, rice terraces, vegetable gardens, jungles and rivers with rushing waterfalls. Mountain people carry up heavy items although they always have time for a little chat. The stunning scenery provides a unique nature experience. And it seems like I had lost my height phobia in the mountains!
