It is another popular short trek designed up to Poon Hill which lies into the foothill of the Annapurna massif. Poon Hill is located just 400m above Ghorepani and offers such a brilliant view of the Himalayan giants such as the many peaks of Annapurna, the holy Machhapuchhre {Mt. fish tail} and Dhaulagiri (18167m). On an excursion to Poonhill one can observe the entire mountain ranges covering with red and pink rays of the Sun in full bloom at the Sunset and Sunrise. On a clear Day, it is even possible to see the transcendental Pokhara valley to the southern side.
