Trip Overview
The Poon Hill Yoga Trek is renowned as one of the best destinations for yoga retreats. This week-long adventure in the Annapurna foothills combines trekking with yoga, offering breathtaking views of majestic mountains such as Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Himchuli, and Machhapuchhre.
Our journey begins in Kathmandu, where we’ll explore heritage sites, temples, and monasteries to immerse ourselves in the rich culture and religions of Nepal. We’ll have the opportunity to meet friendly locals, share a cup of tea, and listen to their fascinating stories. These interactions provide a deeper understanding of the warm and welcoming Nepali way of life.
Next, we’ll drive to Pokhara, a beautiful city by a lake at the foot of the Himalayas. The views here are incredible, and the air is fresh and invigorating. After exploring the scenic beauty of Pokhara, we’ll set off on the Poon Hill trek, where we’ll enjoy the final days of our trek and yoga sessions.
Before we begin trekking each day, we’ll practice yoga to prepare our bodies and minds. Mornings will start with warm-up exercises to get our muscles, joints, and lungs ready for the day’s hike. After a day of trekking, we’ll wind down with restorative yoga, including gentle stretches, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and meditation.
The Poon Hill Yoga Trek is a wonderful way to experience hiking in the Himalayas while practicing yoga and meditation. You’ll immerse yourself in the local culture and enjoy the stunning scenery. After completing the trek, we’ll return to Kathmandu for our last night, where we can indulge in some final shopping before heading home with unforgettable memories and experiences.

Trip Reviews
My friend and I went to Nepal and wanted to try trekking. It’s the first time for both of us, so we visited different places in Thamel and asked for the planning and price. The guy we talked to in Trekking Team Group seemed to really know what he was talking about and also speaks english perfectly. Furthermore his price was definitely the cheapest with everything included. So we chose this place and he was our guide for 4 days and everything went perfect!We are really happy that we chose Trekking Team Group – they know what they’re doing and gives you an unforgetable memorie!

Additional Information
This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the destinations on this site are in remote, underdeveloped areas where unpredictability is the norm. Despite careful planning and organization, our adventure trips can’t be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places we visit lack the emergency health and safety services you’re used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is often uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotel standards may not match those of the West.
If you’re not prepared for this, you shouldn’t travel with us. The unpredictability also means that our itineraries are statements of intent, not contractual obligations. Factors such as weather, transport difficulties, and political instability might require us to change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any necessary changes after consulting with the group. Such changes are rarely significant, and we always do our best to minimize their impact. However, we cannot be held responsible for changes or delays, regardless of their cause.
