Poon Hill Trekking:

There are not many places in the earth that can provide mesmerizing mountain views and astounding trekking opportunities like Nepal. Poon Hill trek at low elevation permit travelers to relish some of the highest peaks of Himalayan as they stroll through the bottoms of the Annapurna Range, and also explore the world legacy locations of Kathmandu City.

From the parched rice terrains on top of Pokhra, we stroll along great routes through picture-perfect Gurung villages and Nepal’s largest rhododendron woodlands which during spring burst with several different colors, as we make our way to Poon Hill at 3,210 meters. The sunrise vista of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre, from the renowned Poon Hill is the major highlight of this hike. Short & fairly simple, this hike is an ideal revelation to Nepal’s Mountain gems. In fact, it’s an excellent beginner hike for those who’re not certain of their hiking capability, or merely for those who wish to maximize their few days of vacation in Nepal. The hike ends at the splendid lake town of Pokhra where tourists can unwind and relish the serene of the lake as well as its background of snow covered hills.

Gokyo Lake Trek:

The pristine blue, sparkling green water of the Gokyo Lakes are no doubt one of the most delightful sights of Nepal. They feature the highest freshwater lake system in the planet, at about 5,000m. Gokyo Lake trek is perfect for travelers who wish to hike in the Everest province, explore a great range of natural views and fewer nights spent at pretty high altitude.
