Review of the 2-day Poon Hill trek from Pokhara, with sunrise views, rhododendron forests, guide details, costs, transport, and practical tips.
“I had an amazing time on the trek. It’s a relatively easy trek (about 3 hours on the way up with plenty of breaks and another 45 min to get to Poon Hill) but the view at the top is out of this world! The road to get to the starting point of the hike is not for the faint of heart but it’s absolutely worth it. Watching the sun rise on Poon Hill was a real highlight of my 2-week trip in Nepal. My guide Biru was great; helpful, nice and took amazing pictures of me! He was so patient with pictures!”
