Poon Hill. Ghorepani to Tatopani | Annapurna Trekking | 14 Oct 2023

Today is a very long day. Started before the sun rises, we trek up to Poon Hill, 1.3km trek with 315m elevation gain. At the view point, we catch a beautiful sunrise and share a morning with awe-inspiring peaks. After taking in all we can of the view, it’s back down to Ghorepani for breakfast.

After breakfast, we start a long day of descending over 1600m to the town of Tatopani (hot water) over a distance of 15km.

There is an option to stop over at the village of Shikha in between Ghorepani and Tatopani. This early in the trek, I felt that my legs were not seasoned to descend that much elevation in such a short period. I paid for this bad choice over the next few days.
