Ghorepani Poon hill trek is best suited for traveling enthusiasts who wish to see the mighty mountains up close avoiding the risk of altitude sickness. The stony steps that run uphill and downhill throughout make this trekking route easier as compared to other routes of the same region. The gems of this trekking route are the picturesque landscapes, serene villages and the array of snowcapped mountains like Dhaulagiri range, Annapurna range, Gangapurna, Lamjung Himal, Nilgiri, Tukuche Peak, Hiunchuli, and Manaslu ranges. The sunrise and sunsets from Poon Hill are a treat to eyes and a reward to the aching muscles.
