Dhaulagiri

Viewpoint at the top of the Poon Hill is one of the most famous in the Annapurna area. And there's a good reason for the popularity, as the views are really magnificent. You can see several Annapurna summits to the North, together with the Machhapuchhare (Fish tail). However, this photograph is made towards west, where is the Dhaulagiri range.

Popularity of this place however means, that you'll not have the view for yourself, unlike most of the other views in Himalaya. Expect even hundreds of people here for Sunrises, all of them get up early down at Ghorepani and climb up all the steps (more than 300 vertical meters) before the Sun rises.

Magnificent night view with some bright moonshine. View from the popular Poon Hill (3210m) towards Dhaulagiri (8167m) across a sea of clouds covering the Khali Gandaki valley. Annapurna area, Nepal.
