You can ask this question even to the editor of National Geographic. In the list of the world’s top ten treks, you will always find the name of the Annapurna Region, And it is in this region that Poonhill Trek takes place. 

Since this trek gives you so many options to be connected with the best treks of the Annapurna Region, including the Tilcho Lake Trek.

How long is the Poonhill Trek ? 

It is a 4 days trek, circuiting the small Annapurna Region. However, it can be extended up to 5 or 6 days by including more beautiful villages of the Annapurna Region like Pothana and Ulleri. As you head out to Ulleri, you are really trekking at the elevation of 2000 m plus. You will experience this on the first day of trekking from Nayapul as you ascend 3000 stone steps. It is to be remembered whether you are trekking to Ulleri or Pothana, you will be walking on hillsides. That also means you are between the valleys and hills. Both these 5 and 6 days treks include Poonhill, the famous viewpoint to see the mountains of the Annapurna Region.

How difficult is the Poonhill Trek ?

Since you will be trekking at 3000 m plus, you can imagine that you have to walk uphill and downhill. Walking at such an altitude will have some difficulties. But we don’t tell you to prepare for it for one month as we tell PreEverest Trekkers. Because the Poonhill Trek can be done even by beginners. To some of them, walking downhill might be tough. And when they have to walk 5 hours daily, this might not be their cup of tea. Above all these things, you will not be affected by Altitude Mountain Sickness. When it comes to mentioning the easy treks of Nepal, Poonhill Trek is always on the list.

Do you need a guide for the Poonhill Trek ?

When you travel with an expert, you are at the hand of a safe person who knows the local area very well. Not only that, we hire a local porter for you that will tell you the ins and outs of that place. Both of them are familiar with that place culturally. Since you are in a strange land, the help of a guide and porter cannot  be underestimated lightly. To hire them, you don’t have to pay a handsome price because they come at the most available price. And it is to be remembered that we always include the service of a guide and porter in the trek cost of Poonhill. And the most important part of our inclusion is your trekking guide comes to receive you at the airport in Kathmandu. You started to know him from the first day of your arrival. This will make things much easier for you later.
