“Nepal Poon Hill trek with private guide Sanjib”

“Nepal Poon Hill trek with private guide Sanjib” Three of us (family, ages 60, 40 and 20) did the Poon Hill (3210 m) trek in 4 days with private guide Sanjib and 1 porter, in April 2016. Maybe should have taken 5 days - no problem going up, but some downhill sections were hard on my knees (I'm the 60 year old). Guide was great - porter was 60 he was superman! Go trek the Nepal Mountains, even if it hurts sometimes you won't regret it. Take note of the time of year you trek. We went in April, great for walking but not the best for haze and view, though you could be lucky if there has just been rain. Our guide Sanjib said October at the end of the wet season, is the best for no haze and clear views, but after the wet season some tracks can be very difficult and slippery. Would recommend Nepal and Kathmandu and Pokhara in particular as a destination for adventure. Lots to do, lots to eat, and friendly people. Visited April 2016
