Classic Annapurna Trek 7 days
This week-long trek in the Annapurna foothills to the top of Poon Hill is one of the most pleasant trekking areas. Easy to Moderate trekking from an altitude of 900m to a maximum 3,000m, this trek offers spectacular mountain scenery, charming settlements of Gurungs and their slate-roofed houses, incredible rhododendron forests ablaze with ivory, rose, apricot and crimson bouquets and deep sub-tropical valleys all set below the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range.
