Three of us (family,
ages 70, 50 and 23) did the Poon Hill (3210 m) trek in 4 days with private
guide Sanjib (Nepal Ph 9841613822, sanjibtrekguide at gmail.com) 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 70 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.
