Poon Hill + Annapurna Base Camp trek, is also known as the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek. This trek offers a complete package of mountain adventure for travelers wanting to conquer the Annapurna Region. The trek goes through the Ghorepani Poon Hill route and then reaches Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek, passing through Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC) surrounded by local villages with local culture.
The trek overall is authentic, exotic, beautiful and gives you a very up close experience with Annapurna and Machhapuchhre mountain ranges. It is especially beautiful during spring as rhododendron flowers along the trail turn red, pink and white. Moreover, travelers get a unique opportunity to take a dip in the warm natural spring at Jhinu Dada and get refreshed at the end of the trek. No wonder, it is one of the best treks in Nepal.
