Annapurna Mountain Range Annapurna Region

Our journey to Pokhara starts at 7am and takes 7,5 hours with several stops on the road. Sharp turnings and broken roads make our journey an not-so-easy one.

... awoke early to see the sunrise.  We climbed Poon Hill at 3200m as it is a great view point of the Annapurna mountain Range.  We were not disapointed when we arrived the skys had cleared and we could see the sky line great.  With ...
