A short, delightful trip into the Annapurna region with slight challenges but plenty of picturesque views at culturally rich villages and the Himalayan panorama at Poon Hill.
Annapurna Panorama Trek, also popular as Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is a short but interesting walk through lush green forests, cascading waterfalls, suspension bridges over big and small rivers, terraced farms and beautiful villages. The hospitality and cultural experience in the villages enrich the trekking experience while the view of the Annapurna range makes the perfect backdrop for almost every village that we overnight. The scenic views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and especially the ever-changing Fishtail from different angles can easily be seen along the trek. A relatively relaxed walk, it can be done all through the year with average walking of 4 to 6 hours a day. This is an easy trek option in the foothills of the Annapurna. The highest point is only 3,200m, therefore it involves minimal risk of Altitude Sickness, also making it an ideal family adventure. This trek is a perfect fit for beginners to novice trekkers and those who love to trek with their family members. The viewpoint of Poon Hill is a major highlight of the trek.
While the firsthand familiarity with the tradition, culture, food, and lifestyle can be refreshing, the trek also embraces the diversity in wildlife and plants that the Annapurna region is popular for. Keep an eye out, especially for rare bird sightings.

He made sure that pur stay in the lodge/tea houses was memorable and convenient. He is very good at what he is doing. Everyone in Access Nepal did such a great job!!! Thank you so much!

Amazing time doing EBC trek with Access Nepal! I went with Access Nepal for my Everest Base Camp 14 day trek, and I had an incredible experience! From my very initial inquiry, Sadhana was quick to respond and answer any questions. She made me feel very comfortable and connected throughout the entire process, and provided me with all the relevant information leading up to my arrival. When we finally met in Kathmandu to discuss the trek, she was just as friendly and kind and made me feel at ease knowing I was starting the next morning. I was met by my guide Om Prakash at the Kathmandu airport. From there he was with me the entire time as we traveled to Lukla to begin our trek and until I returned to Kathmandu. Om Prakash was an excellent and friendly guide, with so much knowledge of the area, the culture, the route, where to stay and safe places to eat and drink, and he also took the best photos! It was very helpful to have a local speaking guide to handle flight and accommodation logistics on my behalf, making sure I have somewhere to stay and eat every night. Throughout the trek, he managed my health and recommended me the best course of action when I wasn’t feeling 100%. He set the trekking pace accordingly to ensure my best success. Our porter, Bidur, was also extremely lovely during the trek. He handled my things with proper care, always made sure to have it ready on time by the evening, was extremely friendly and nice to talk to, and provided excellent service and companionship. Overall I had a 10/10 experience with Access Nepal: the trip coordinator Sadhana, my guide Om Prakash and my porter Bidur. I would recommend going with Access Nepal if you are looking to conquer the EBC trek or any similar in Nepal!
