The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek along the Annapurna circuit is a gorgeous 4-5 day climb in the Himalayas. Reaching a maximum elevation of about 3200 meters and covering a distance of roughly 50 kilometers, the highlight of this trek is without a doubt the unobstructed views of the Annapurna mountain range. Accommodation along the way is basic at best with hole-in-the-wall rooms, shared toilets and no guaranteed running water but the delicious home-cooked meals at tea houses along the trail and views of the towering Himalayas more than make up for the lack of comfort. The trek is of moderate difficulty and is especially recommended for families who want to expose kids to multi-day hikes in the mountains. We did this trek with three kids aged 12, 10 and 5 all of whom had a blast waking up early each morning to climb 2000+ feet to get to our next rest stop, surviving on maggi, momos and daal bhat during the climb. The image above is a view of the Annapurna mountain range as seen from Poon Hill, the highest point on the trek, during sunrise.
