| Annapurna
Classic Trek ( 9 Days) |
This
week-long trek in the Annapurna foothills to
the top of Poon Hill is one of the most pleasant
trekking areas. Easy to Moderate trekking from
an altitude of 900m to a maximum 3,000m, this
trek offers spectacular mountain scenery, charming
settlements of Gurungs and their slate-roofed
houses, incredible rhododendron forests ablaze
with ivory, rose, apricot and crimson bouquets
and deep sub-tropical valleys all set below
the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range. The sunrise
over Machhapuchhre or Fishtail (6,993m) from
Poonhill is simply breath taking as the sun
changes its color from pink to gold to silver
– a rewarding experience. |
