As someone stepping into the enthralling world of mountain trekking for the first time, the three-day private trek to Poon Hill, starting from Pokhara, unveiled a mesmerizing tapestry of natural and cultural experiences that exceeded all expectations.
Navigating through the moderately challenging trail, the hike meandered through vibrant forests, quaint mountain villages, and serene rice fields, all against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Himalayas. Standing atop Poon Hill during sunrise, witnessing the majestic peaks bathed in a warm, golden hue, was an indescribable moment that will be etched in my memory forever.
For a novice trekker, the trail offered the perfect amalgamation of manageable challenges and visual rewards. The altitude was forgiving, making acclimatization an easy process, and the varying landscapes provided constant visual delight.
Embarking on this journey with Eco Holidays Nepal turned out to be a fortuitous decision. From the initial stages of planning to the execution of the trek, their team demonstrated utmost professionalism and genuine care towards curating a hassle-free experience for their travelers.
The exceptional guidance of Saroj, my trekking guide, was a pivotal aspect of this journey. His friendly demeanor, in-depth knowledge of the trails, and adept negotiation skills in securing teahouse stays and necessary permits, removed all potential stressors from the experience. Saroj’s insights into the local culture and environment enriched the journey, transforming it from a mere trek to an immersive cultural exploration.
The Poon Hill trek was not just a physical journey through the Himalayas, but a soulful adventure through nature and culture, splendidly facilitated by Eco Holidays Nepal. A special acknowledgment to Saroj, whose guidance illuminated the path and enriched the experience in every possible way.
