Trip Overview

The Annapurna Sunrise trek is an easy walk through the countryside, with rhododendron forests and cultural villages. Poon Hill (3210m) has the highest elevation of the entire trip and offers a spectacular panoramic view during sunrise and sunset. The Annapurna Sunrise trek offers some of the best views and is widely regarded as the best viewpoint in the Annapurna region. Most of the journey is through beautiful mountain scenery, passing through charming villages inhabited by the Magar, Gurung, Bahun, and Kshtrai communities. The inhabitants here are pretty warm, with a great sense of humor and a warm welcome for guests. So, even if you are a long distance from your home, you can feel as if you are at home with your family because of these people's behavior. This vibrant short trip to the Annapurna region features breathtaking mountain scenery.

The trek could be ideal for that beginner trekker who doesn’t have a habit of taking a long walk or those who want less trekking than the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. With the Annapurna, Sunrise Trek package travelers would be captivated and blissful by the end of the trek and also by the mind-blowing scenario of the mystical mountains as well as Rhododendron forests in red and green. The trail mostly goes through dense rhododendron forests and deep subtropical valleys with the sweet sound of birds and the occasional sighting of deer and monkeys. The jungle is wildly vibrating in the spring when rhododendrons and magnolias bloom. While dropping the flower on the trail, you may feel that someone is welcoming some supreme being. You can't imagine the beauty of the morning view from Poon Hill that you'll see here, which brightens the entire spectrum and will capture your heart. The addition of rice terraces completes the scene, making it a photographer's dream. At the climax, the mild orange rays of the early sunlight kiss the snow-covered Himalayan giants such as Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Machhapuchhre, and a network of other summits.

Annapurna Trekking for 6 Days After a 2 to 3-hour drive from Pokhara, the sunrise trek begins from Ulleri and continues passes through Banthanti, Ghorepani, Tadapani, the Natural Hot Spring at Jhinudandak Landruk village, Tolka, Pothana, Australian Camp, Dhampus, and returns to Pokhara from Phedi via a short loop of Annapurna. "Adventure to Nepal" provides the Annapurna sunrise trek itinerary in shorter and longer versions based on our clients' preferences and vacation schedules. We run this trip all year and only use experienced guides. However, the best months to travel are early September to mid-November and March to mid-May.
