I just completed a 4-day Poonhill trek, and it was absolutely amazing. The views from the top were stunning, worth every steps!. I found the countless stone stairs quite challenging for first time trekker like me, but the journey was unforgettable. Our guide Devi and porter Bishnu, always made sure that we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trek. Would love to come back to Nepal again for sure.
