GHOREPANI POON HILL TREKKING

Poon Hill is a fantastic short trek. You feel like trekking in 5 different countries in 4 days. The sunrise at Poon Hill was really worth it and the teahouses we were in were amazing. The host at the first teahouse is worth it all.
The organizer found a super cool female guide for me. Anju was so smiling, joking and helpful with everything and we went out together after the trek to meet her friend and see Pokhara together.
When I had some trouble getting to the airport in time, the organizer, Ram, was super helpful and saved me a lot of money!
