It is a popular and relatively simple trek in the Annapurna region ideal for those who are in a short time. In fact, we can also say for those who are seeking a more accessible trekking trip in comparison to Annapurna Circuit or Everest Base Camp Trek.

It is located at an elevation of 3200m from sea level. It is right under the most outstanding Himalayan Range such as Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. The Poon Hill trek begins from Nayapul which is 3 hours drive from Pokhara. The trek will finish in 3 to 5 days if you walk at a moderate pace.
