The Poon Hill trek was harder than I expected in a few sections, especially the long uphill parts, but the experience was absolutely worth it. Walking through villages and forest made the trek feel much more varied than I imagined. The early morning climb to Poon Hill was cold and dark, but once the light started hitting the mountains it was unforgettable. Seeing the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges at sunrise was easily one of the highlights of our Nepal trip. We felt well supported throughout and never had to worry about the basic arrangements along the way.
