The major attraction of the trip is the splendid sunrise at Poon hill. It is a wonderful walking adventure route in the Himalayan foothills in the Annapurna region.
At Ghorepani, the mountains get much nearer; Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri dominates the view here, the Ghorapani and Ghandruk is large but beautiful village; the path ahead to tadapani is through dense temperate forests;it is lovely walk with superb views of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre from Bhaisi Kharka and Tadapani. A crest beyond Deurali, before Ghorepani, affords a stunning panoramic of the Annapurnas and Dhaulagiri that equals the magnificent vista from Poon Hill. Although the trek involves walking up and down the hill through the region, this trek is one of the easy ones in Nepal. Unlike Annapurna Circuit Trek or Annapurna Base Camp Trek, this adventure stays low in the elevation that makes it easy to go through.

Lush forest, mostly consisting of rhododendron trees, gives a wonderful experience of nature walk. You will also enjoy one of the best sunrises over the mountains on the trip. Another beautiful fact about the trip is its elevation. It just reaches 3,210 meters above sea level and yet brings splendid views of the mountains. The panoramic view of the mountain peaks in the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range is simply stunning from Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek.
