Overview

Annapurna Circuit is one of the finest and most popular trekking holidays in the world, where we can encounter a gamut of topological distinctions ranging from the sub-tropical region to the alpine region and the semi-desert region. Appropriately titled as Nepal's classic trek, the Annapurna Circuit Trek offers panoramic views of the Himalayas. Annapurna Circuit is rich in variety and vistas, from high altitude Himalayan to the lush green rice paddies of the Marshyangdi. Besides, its ecological and cultural diversity provides a complete trekking experience. Muktinath Temple, the common pilgrimage site for the Hindus and the Buddhists, is the sacred hallmark of the trek.

As you trek along the way, observing the beautiful mountain scenery and fascinating village life, it will keep you enthralled, day after day. For the team of Plan Nepal Trek & Expedition (P.) Ltd, it would be an absolute delight to serve our adventurers with an awesome tour.


THE IDEAL SEASON TO VISIT

The best seasons to travel to Poonhill are spring (March and April) and fall (October and November). These seasons are quite dry and warlike. It's not advised to hike during the monsoon season (May to September) due to the higher risk of landslides and floods. The winter months (December, January, and February) are the driest and coldest months of the year. Since the Poon Hill trek is not very steep, it is unlikely that you'll get much snow even in the winter.

Important Note

USEFUL TIPS IN SAVING ENERGY 

  • For the camera, extra batteries.
  • 5,000–10,000 mah power bank.
  • The solar charger, as well as the solar lamp, are both eco-friendly (luminaid lamps).
  • Using a gadget with low brightness, GPS, and wifi turned off when necessary helps save energy.
