This trek combines the iconic sunrise views from Poon Hill with the quieter, less-traveled Muldai Viewpoint, offering breathtaking vistas of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. It’s an ideal route for beginner to moderate trekkers seeking natural beauty and cultural richness without going too high in altitude.

This trek is considered moderate in difficulty. While it does not involve technical climbing or high-altitude challenges like Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit, it still requires good physical fitness due to daily ascents, descents, and continuous walking for 4–6 hours per day.

Prior trekking experience is beneficial but not mandatory.

The best seasons to trek this route are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the weather is generally stable, the skies are clear, and the mountain views are at their best.
