3-day Poon Hill Trek with Kokhe & Mohare Hill

The 3-day Poon Hill Trek with Kokhe & Mohare Hill is a unique and scenic trekking experience in the Annapurna region, offering breathtaking mountain views, cultural encounters, and peaceful nature trails. This trek is an off-the-beaten-path adventure, combining the less-explored Kokhe Hill and Mohare Hill with the popular Poon Hill sunrise viewpoint.

Beginning with a drive from Pokhara to Banthanti, the trek winds through lush rhododendron forests, terraced fields and tradicional villages to Kokhe Hill, a serene and stunning lookout where you can stretch out your view of the Himalayas. The following day takes you up to Mohare Danda (3,300m), a stunningly off-the-radar viewpoint that has 360-degree views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu ranges. Pat Pic: This is a lesser-known route to Ghorepani (too much while trekking), allowing you to enjoy the trekking in peace without much huddling of trekkers.

The aforementioned highlights of the trek includes an early morning hike to Poon Hill (3,210m), from where the trekkers can witness an amazing sunrise over the snow-capped peaks. The golden glow radiating the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre peaks is a moment worth capturing. After taking in the amazing views, the trek descends through thick forests and cute villages to Banthanti, where a car is waiting for the drive back to Pokhara.

For those looking for adventure and culture with stunning views beyond those found on the traditional Poon Hill trek this hike is for you.
