Poon Hill Trek

Jennifer and I embarked on the popular Poon Hill Trek on Thursday morning.   Navin and Biso, our friends from the village, joined us as our guide and porter.    The trek was done over 5 days and we stayed at guest houses along the trail.

The weather was great for trekking.  We had a bit if overcast, but it cleared wonderfully for sunrise at Poon Hill, and then along the ridge for so excited fabulous views of Annapurna South and "Fishtail" mountain.

We also trekked through the most amazing rhododendron garden!  Huge rhododendron trees in full bloom, that seemed to last for miles!   Check out the photos below:

This is the hiking map of the area.  We started st Nayapul, overnighted at Tikhedunga, Ghorepani, Tadepani and Gandruk.
