Annapurna Region |
Annapurna trek is an extraordinary trek, one of the world’s best in terms of culture and environmental diversity. Annapurna Circuit trek provides you dramatic changes in landscape, culture and climate. To the west, in the interior of the Annapurna Circuit, is Tilicho Lake, surrounded by snow-peaks. Annapurna trekking has been wildly recognized as a naturalist's paradise. The upper sub-alpine steppe environment harbors some of the rare snow leopards and blue sheep. Other areas of the region protect bird species such as the multi-coloured Impeyan, kokla, and blood pheasant amongst a multitude of other birds, butterflies and insects. Many plants native to Nepal are found in this forest. The conservation area has 100 varieties of orchids and some of the richest temperate rhododendron forest in the world.

The hike to and back from Poon Hill is approximately one and half-hours. After breakfast, the trail from Ghorepani to Tadapani goes through thick pine and rhododendron forest with occasional ascends and descends, but the walk today may be considered flat on the ridge top as a whole.
