COME TO SEE THE EPIC NEPAL DURING THE POON HILL TREK

12-Feb-2019

Passing through the diversity of geographical lands of Nepal's highlands during the trek will give you all the things you love to see in the Mountainous Nepal. And as reaching the amazing Poon Hill, you will see the great view with the snowy mountainous range of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri - Everything just stopped for a moment and only you with such the greatest of the natural creation.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE

14-Feb-2019

This trek is a warming up for Annapurna circuit or ABC. The view is wonderful. Everybody who loves nature will love this trek. Loved this trek the sunrise was so beautiful on poon hill. It was challenging at times but was well worth it for the experience. Would recommend to anyone looking for a semi short but awesome trek in Nepal.
