Poon Hill

Here you go. Poon hill is the “must see” spot for people doing the Annapurna circuit. It’s pretty obvious why.

You’ve gotta get up at around 3:30am, then trek like a Banshee (well, I guess actually more like a Sherpa) to the top of this “hill.”

Now I’ve seen hills and I’ve seen “hills,” but I ain’t never seen a hill like this. I was thinking they should have a defibrillator at the top. It’s around 45 minutes straight uphill. Luckily you don’t have to bring your pack. They have the most delicious piping hot, instant hot chocolate you’ve ever had. No tiny little dehydrated marshmallows, but hey you’re in Nepal!
