Annapurna Panaroma Trek- Best Short Treks in Nepal

Annapurna Region is the most popular trekking region of Nepal and rightly so. It is arguably the most panoramically gifted regions of Nepal and it takes something really specially to be able to be called this in the land of Mt. Everest. Located northwards of Pokhara, Annapurna Panorama Trek takes you through the Annapurna massif with splendid views of Manaslu, Lamjung, Dhaulagari, the Annapurnas as well as many other Tibetan mountains.

As the trails take you to the Tibetan plateau through the dense rhododendron and oak forests, you will be welcomed by the smiling faces of warm villagers who are predominantly Gurung and Magar and Tamang. One of the highlights of this trek is Poonhill (3,210/10,531ft), a hill-top popular for facilitating panoramic views of the surrounding Kaligandaki valleys, rivers, lakes, deep gorges and mountain ranges (Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Machhapuchre). There is plenty of natural hot springs along the way, and you can spend a quiet evening by taking a plunge in one of them.

Annapurna Panorama Trek is a fairly easy trek. The trails are not much physically demanding when compared to other trails in the Himalayas and the trek will be completed in less than two weeks itself. That does not lessen the fun and excitement of trekking though. Thus, Annapurna panorama trek best suits you if you are planning to have as much Himalayan adventure as possible in whatever short time you have available.

The months between March to May (spring) and September to December (autumn) are the best months to trek the Annapurna region. The days will be warm and nights will be generally cold with cool breezes. Those of you who are willing to fight the cold can also do the Annapurna Panorama Trek in the months of January and February. The recent earthquakes in Nepal have not done any damage in the Annapurna region. Come and enjoy the rewarding experience of Annapurna Panorama Trek with us.
