You’ll get to Poon Hill by the fifth day. Starting early, passing through an alpine forest, you will finally make your way to the top to see a spectacular sunrise. The yellow-orange rays of the morning sun spreading gradually among the soaring peaks will be a spectacle you’ll remember for life! The top also offers jaw-dropping views of many high peaks like Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Annapurna I and  Nilgiri Annapurna.

Before ending the trip, you’ll trek Tadapani and Ghandruk to see the lifestyle of Gurung and Magar people closely and experience some more Nepali culture and finally return to Kathmandu, taking back with you unforgettable memories.
