This less than weeklong lodge trek in the Annapurna Foothills to the viewpoint on Ghorepani Poon Hill offers all the best of trekking in Nepal including accommodation in comfortable family run tea house lodges along the way. Enjoy trekking in the spectacular mountain scenery through charming villages inhabited by the Gurungs, dense rhododendron forests full of birds and deep sub-tropical valleys, all set below the Annapurnas with the picturesque fluted peak of Machapuchare (Fish Tail Peak) dominating the skyline.
