The Poon Hill trek, 4 days, was one of the best short trekking trails, which was very familiar to the trekkers. Poon Hill, 3210 meters, was one of the best viewpoints to see the whole Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Range together.


The Road to Ghorepani has ruined the beauty of the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek completely. Trek need to go through the dusty road with the noise of cars and dust. Once it was a very beautiful forests now it has big dusty roads which have destroyed the beauty of the trails.

Most of the trekkers may ask whether there are any alternatives to the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek, which can be done in just 4 days and offer the same beauty and cultural experience. Yes, there is the Mulde viewpoint trek, which is 4 days and starts from Ghandruk and also arrives at Ghorepani on the 3rd nights and you can also visit Poon Hill if you want.

The Mulde view point trek 3637 meters offers a much closer view of the peaks, like Dhaulagiri 8,167 m (26,795 ft), Annapurna I 8,091 m (26,545 ft), Annapurna South 7,219 m (23,684 ft), Machapuchare 6,993 m (22,943 ft), Annapurna II 7,937 m (26,040 ft), Annapurna III 7,555 m (24,787 ft), Gangapurna 7,455 m (24,459 ft), Tukuche peak 6,920 m (22,700 ft), Dhampus peak 6,012 m (19,724 ft), Hiumchuli 6,441 m (21,132 ft), Gurja Himal 7,193 m (23,599 ft) and you can see the most stunning sunrise from the top.
 

Trekkers can also combine others trek like the Mardi Himal or Annapurna Base Camp, and the most common trek from here is the Khopra Danda trek. The trails to comrong from the upper trails, Pode, then to hidden lake and chomrong can also be done to go to the Annapurna base camp trek.

There are quite a few longer trek routes as well, such as a langtang Valley Trek or Manaslu Circuit trek, which are much nicer and longer as well
