Poon Hill
3,210m sunrise viewpoint with a panorama of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I and Machhapuchhre
Poon Hill is Nepal's best-known short-trek viewpoint: a 3,210m summit on the Myagdi-Kaski border reached by a pre-dawn climb from Ghorepani, opening onto a sunrise panorama across Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna South, Gangapurna and Machhapuchhre (6,993m). Its low elevation and short approach make it accessible to trekkers who never go higher, while others use it as the acclimatisation high point before continuing to Annapurna Base Camp.
