The Annapurna Sunrise and Everest View Trek offers us an opportunity to trek in the two of the most popular trekking regions in the world - the Annapurna and Everest. Join Himalayan Glacier's Annapurna Sunrise and Everest View Trek for a combined trek in the Annapurna and Everest region. The Trek features a wide range of spectacular scenery combined with unique cultural encounters. From mesmerizing views from one of the most beautiful viewpoints on earth, the Poon Hill of Annapurna to one of the world's highest monasteries in Tengboche of Everest region. The Trek combines a magnificent galore of both the natural and cultural panorama that Nepal offers. Moreover, the opportunity to capitalise an awesome beauty of Mt. Everest (8848m) and other eight thousanders would certainly make this trek a memorable experience of the lifetime.

The Trek begins from the ancient city of Kathmandu, from where a short flight takes us to Pokhara. The real trekking experience begins from Nayapul. Arrival at Poon Hill (3210m) is a reward in itself, perhaps one of the most beautiful viewpoints on earth. From Ghandruk we return to Pokhara and fly back to Kathmandu. Then the next day our flight will be at Lukla of the Everest Region. From Lukla, the trek continues through lush vegetation of Sagarmatha National Park, with pine forests, rhododendron flowers and an abundance of wildlife, to Namche Bazaar (3440m). The following days' trekking will bring us to the village of Tengboche (3930m), home to the highest Buddhist monastery in the world (4100m). From Tengboche, we retrace our path back to Kathmandu.
