We‘ve had an amazing time doing the Poon Hill Trek in Nepal. Our trek took 4 days, with the summit walk from Ghorepani on day 3. The weather was great and the sunrise on Poon Hill was amazing. Our guide Birendra Thapa was very friendly and helpful and he told us a lot about the surrounding mountains. We can definitely recommend doing the Poon Hill trek with him. We also liked the Safari activities in Chitwan a lot. With this tour you get a good overview over the country and we had many amazing experiences.
