Perfect intro to Nepal trekking — magical sunrise
First time trekking. Poon Hill sunrise lived up to every photo I'd ever seen. Yuki and I were the only Japanese visitors that morning — guide translated the peak names and told stories of each mountain. Simple tea houses but surprisingly comfortable. This 4-day route is perfect for anyone who wants Himalayan magic without the commitment of a longer trek.
Response from the host
Arigato Yuki-san! The Poon Hill sunrise is always magical. Please come back for a longer trek!
