Poon Hill Trek 3 days 2 nights is easily the best short trek from Pokhara to Annapurna Reason.

Poon hill trek is also known as the Annapurna Sunrise Trek and being popular destination among the traveller. We shortened the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek 5 days 4 nights into Poon Hill Trek 3 days 2 nights by using a 4×4 wheel Jeep that brings you all the way from Pokhara to Ulleri (2070m). Within the first day, you will arrive at Ulleri (2070m) at about 11am. You will then walk to Banthanti (2300m) for lunch, and then continue the trek after lunch for about 3.5 hours. You will reach Ghorepani (2860m) before sunset, where Poon Hill (3193m) is a mere 1 hour trek from where you will be staying on Day 1.

There will be a guide and porter following you the entire trek. This is a short and easy trek from Pokhara.
