Annapurna Base Camp trek via Sarangkot and Poon Hill combines three signature viewpoints, steady elevation gains, and a helicopter exit from the Annapurna sanctuary.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek
Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Poon Hill and Sarangkot draws a clear line from city to sanctuary. The first days in Kathmandu and Pokhara allow the body to adjust to the time zone as the dawn light over the Annapurna range from Sarangkot sets the tone. From Ulleri and Ghorepani, stone paths and rhododendron forest lead to the vast skyline of Poon Hill, where Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and Machhapuchhre stand in a single frame.
From Tadapani, Chhomrong, and the Modi Khola valley, the landscape shifts from terraces to rock and glacier, each camp drawing closer to the cirque of Annapurna Base Camp. Instead of retracing the same long descent, a helicopter flight carries you back to Pokhara in one sweeping arc, keeping the focus on apparent horizons, quiet evenings in the hills, and steady, confident elevation gains.
