| Punhil
Trek ( 8 days) |
| This
Annapurna foothills-based trek – with
the final destination being the Poon Hill’s
awe-filled perspective – is said to offer
some of the most memorable journeys through
Nepal. This journey offers a background of multi-perspective
mountain sceneries all winding through quaint
villages with the Gurungs (rumored descendants
of the historical pre-Mongol, or Hun people
of Central Asia), lush, bird-filled forests
and diverse-weathered valleys – all serving
as the foreground to the lurking, epic peak
of Machapuchhare (also known as ‘Fish
Tail Peak’). |
