Poon Hill Circuit

Nepal's most iconic sunrise.
The perfect solo starter.

Poon Hill is where most first-time solo trekkers discover they can do this. Short enough to complete in a long weekend, with enough Himalayan drama to last a lifetime. The 5am climb to the viewpoint in the dark, then Dhaulagiri and Annapurna South materialising out of the mist — it earns every step.

The solo guide covers the ACAP permit, the Ghorepani teahouses that welcome single travellers, and how to time the hill for quiet.
